They are wild creatures, I don't know if it's good or bad to adopt them, but some States, maybe all have laws against it. But how darn cute Chipmunks are so tiny
One time, as I was setting under a tree, while hunting, a chipmunk ran up my shotgun barrel and got as fair as my stomach. Then the tiny chippy light bulb came on and he realized something wasn't right. I whispered hi there and I thought he was going to have a heart attack. I still laugh when I think of this. And, as far as I know, he's still running.
