As a boy we would camp in the Utah mountains and spend days befriending those cute little critters. I only got bitten once but he was just scared. The next day he came back and climbed up onto my lap and ate seeds with me. He said sorry in his own way. Great memories

I never seen a chipmunk run up to me. I saw dead ones. I just wanna be friends with one 😔

I have been feeding a mama chipmunk for about 2 days, the closest she has gotten is 2 feet, but I think this will help!! I have been feeding her millet and bird seeds, I have also been giving her water. One of her 2 babies almost came up to me but was too scared. I hope I can make friends with the babies too! I have named her Nectar, and she now responds to her names and my calls. I call her a good girl and talk to her so she gets used to me talking. She all tipped over a plastic water dish when she tried to get a drink of water the second time LOL. The humming bird: After only being with her for a few hours, a male humming bird circled two inches from my head and has been coming back. I will feed him sugar water, I have named him Hector, I think he has a nest near the chipmunk burrow

[@TheChipmunkWhisperer]

I started feeding them a couple summers ago and was surprised how quickly they'd eat from my hand. I wanted to pet them but didn't want to scare them away. Thanks for the tips. I'll try petting them now. 😎👍

[@m4TT5]

Do you have any tips? I’m trying to feed them but they always get scared off as I approach with sunflower seeds. I live close to Boston mass so I’m not sure if the chipmunks around here act differently

[@neomyt4725]

I saw this animal running in my neighbor's yard with its tail up. I assumed it was a chipmunk or something else because I couldn't see that well. A few minutes ago it just walked past me and I knew it was a chipmunk so I held out some nuts. It came back really close , looked at me for like 15 seconds, then went past me again.( I'm not saying ran away because it wasn't scared) I dont see my neighbors feeding it so I think it's one of the brave ones . Tomorrow is my birthday and I'm going to go grab some peanuts along with a cake. How to I actually get the chipmunk to eat from my hand instead of walking past me?

[@lakecountynaturalist7617]

Good technique but for anyone trying this please be respectful of the animal. Not all chipmunks are the same. Some are very, very shy. Give them time and don't force a relationship on them. Keep in mind they are very busy trying to gather a lot of food that has to last them 6 MONTHS while they live underground. Be generous, please!

[@susanleilani2408]

Absolutely correct. I can't believe that this guy achieved this relationship in just a couple of takes?! My chipmunks took forever to get close to me. And only a few times all summer did they eat out of my hand.

[@shashank4717]

Too late, we broke up a couple of days ago

[@jaynebrabrooke6693]

They are a wild animal and should stay that way. That's how they stay alive. Feed but don't pet them.

[@Qchloe_bloopersandoldvideos]

Ya I agree

[@flatttttt]

I get your point but you can feed them so they won't need to do that much you could just give them like a whole big pile of food and that's how they'll trust you more

[@gav2159]

I have been doing this religiously for a month and there have been three chipmunks coming up to me now I named them Theodore Alvin and Simon they’re always sitting on the mirror of my car waiting for me to go out to go to work to give them food before I go And they’re sitting at the parking space when I get back these chipmunks are so freaking smart and Adorable

@@m4TT5 I'm late, but maybe try laying it on the ground and backing up to give them space? That way there's no sudden movement.

[@d.y.martin121]

I managed to befriend one when I first moved into this house- took a while- his tunnels were under my porch; eventually came up the steps and took nuts out of my hand. After about 3-4 days he would actually stand upright in front of my screen door & would screech, asking for more handouts, I'm guessing, so I did humour him when I could. He had a scar on his back, so I'm guessing he'd already been hurt by some other critter. Unfortunately, he suddenly disappeared; I'm guessing he became a victim of the neighbour's black cat, which was frequently in my yard (and crapping in my flower beds). Too bad. Trying to "tame" a new one but he's really not brave at all.

[@lakecountynaturalist7617]

Give him time. It took me one year to befriend a black squirrel. He knew he was different and he was terrified of everyone. Eventually, when he realized he was special in a good way he came running. Midnight is the smartest, sweetest squirrel I have ever known and more important he knows he is loved.

[@kerryb751]

Im working on one now. Ive been putting food out for him and just today he came over to me.. hes very cute ❤

[@MatthewIrwin-s3g]

[@mboudreaux2950]

I did this last summer, but started with a trail of peanuts in the shells, which ended at the foot of my lawn chair. I put a large peanut bag down, next to my feet & this guy is right, they’re super greedy!! My lil chip got inside the bag several times, loading & unloading those giant shells into his pouches. I gave him some almonds today & he can’t stay away. 😂🙌🏽

[@analyticalhabitrails9857]

Im leaving a little trail of peanuts to get my chipmunk to come on out! Im waiting as we speak....

[@kevinsisler9379]

I used a slightly different method. I started putting wildlife food in front of my feet, then on my feet, then in my hand. I had a garden glove on in case of things he may Cary, and not be too reliant on people since not all people are like me. And to keep them wild. I may do it gloveless next time. They fill their mouths, Ron back to their nest to store it, and run back to me. Adorable feeling their paws on your hand.

You can plant good fruit trees which can provide a continuous food supply to the chipmunks,bees,butterflies

[@lakecountynaturalist7617]

Please feed nuts with shells on. The shell allows the nut to be buried and eaten in the winter. It gives the squirrel a sense of security.

Yes...this year I gave my apples straight away to my 'Monks'... what they dropped I later raked up into a pile after everyone had their nibbles birds etc...and one night a coyote came and had his own party ...left his thx on rock... I really was happy for a 'successful harvest ' It was good year.

Thank you for your video...I also watch ChooChoo Lee's channel. I have so much wildlife in my yard and I marvel at how a baby bunny doesn't leave because I don't stare at it when I step out of my door! (I used to have domesticated dwarfs as a teenage.) I worry so much that the foxes and cats will get them. I have squirrels that invade my bird feeders and my vegetable garden and are bold and do not run until I'm on top of them. I would like to make them afraid of me because they scare beautiful birds AND docile geese. I plan to buy a sling shot but to shoot soft ammo to scare and not kill. This is one rodent I do not care for anymore, but not enough to kill. But then I have chipmunks that devour my transplant peppers and cucumbers. I would like to distract them so your advice might help. I think they are so loveable. All rodents are destructive, but there has to be a way to live with all animals, but know how to control them.

[@josephcope7637]

I'd love to make a pet of the chipmunk that scurries around my sun deck. But I have two house cats and I'd hate to think what would happen if he or she learned to trust me and followed me into my house. I guess I'll just have to enjoy watching from a distance.
