I think DocB is serious here. He likes things with protruding teeth!

Doc. Finkley Down Farm in Picket Piece, Andover, Hants, have a big colony of chipmonks. Try calling them. They are so cuuuuute.

It's a ploy to get round to the the bald bloke in the chippy who gets to say the line "...I'm the Friar."

hmm...now I´m not that sure...do you mean breeding like raising them?

I did never raise chipmunks, we dont have them here in Germany.
But I raise a lot of red squirrels....pretty familiar I think...

Make sure the shed is soundproof: their high-pitched singing is really annoying (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EkmnlmtNLo).   [:)]

Atrox, do you have any white ones ? , I had one used to visit my garden for about five years, its gone now so maybe a cat or a fox killed it.
I caught a glimpse of a grey one with a white belly a hybrid offspring maybe just one time.
