shaaark 10,133 Posted August 30, 2023 Report Share Posted August 30, 2023 (edited) Only time I've ever seen chipmunks, was at the Welsh hawking centre, Barry, South Wales, about 12-15ish years ago. They had a few pairs in a couple of enclosures. Couldn't believe the speed and agility on them. Make grey squirrels look a tad geriatric.

Never,I like themThey are nice little things,more colourful and less brash than squirrels,the local stores sell squirrel and gopher traps but no chipmunk traps,in general people like seeing them around,sometimes they run around your feet expecting to be fed.They are scared of squirrels and always back down. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, lovely little animals. I think I may have slightly confused you with my Bruce Lee question lol. All I meant was, have you ever been tempted to scruff one so quickly, it could barely blink before you'd got hold of it lol. Just a bit of jovial banter lol. Like you say, lovely little animals.

Come over (through the magic changing room) I will show you chipmunks as soon as you arrive,I will video and you can do it,they are as fast as lightening and would bite like rats,I used to hand catch rats as a kid,these don’t have a nice long tail to hold.I would have trapped them as a kid,but it’s nice nowadays just to watch them. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Like you say, Mack, I wouldn't want to hurt one. Plus, I fear I am definitely not as quick as I used to be!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
