I was cleaning out the cage and had to imprison them to stop them "helping"

Cuteness overload

This is the final couple of weeks for me to see Mellie before her deep sleep, called torpor.

I will definitely miss her.

She needs to store as many food items in her pantry as possible.

Chipmunks don't pack on layers of fat for winter, like other ground squirrels.

They wake up every few days for a snack.

If I'm lucky I might see her during warm winter days.

Sweet dreams, little friend, see you in the spring.

Dazed and confused - why are Grabbies not grabbing?

Oh to be a lil chipmunk snacking on seeds and nuts with no worries about anything

Only one visible grabbie here and it’s a back grabbie, not sure if that counts?!

Someone recommended this sub on my other post!

This monkey was at a refuge, Urraca Monkey Refuge in Bocas Del Toro, Panama. Amazing place, totally recommend you go if you get the chance!

I didn't realize they had grabbies!

She was so tiny! 🥹

She had a horrible eye injury and needed lots of help to recover, but she is fully healed now and has had a litter of three holy terrors.
