Hello everyone!

[Launchpad]

Hello there! I'm Jaime, I live in the UK and I have long admired squirrels. I love to watch them playing in the trees behind my house. Due to my love of watching squirrels, I got the closest to owning one I am able- A dilute chipmunk. He is called Launch and he is nearly 4 months old. I am currently trying to get him used to me and he is slowly trusting me more though he still flees at times.

Have uploaded my most recent pic of him, hope to have better ones soon :)

Welcome to TSB...Your interest & compassion for God's Smaller critters....is quite popular here.
I have 5 squirrels, here in Costa Rica. ( some links are located below ).
We LOVE photos...and more photos.

Welcome! Your chippy baby is gorgeous! Yes, we definitely need more pix of your unique darling. How did you come up with his name? It sounds like there should be a story behind it!

He is beautiful! Look at that fluffy tail -- quite different from the wild chippies we have all over the place around here. Welcome to TSB -- glad you found us! :Welcome

Thank you for such a warm welcome ^_^

I think that the dilute chippies look so different to the agouti ones, I love the stripyness of the agoutis :)

I thought of the name before I got him but waited until I met him until I decided for sure. Launch, for such a quick, energetic animal seemed a very fitting name :grin2

How about some BABY pictures... (Did you raise him or just get him?)

Welcome to TSB! :welcome

I've read here that bonding requires a lot of patience, and is so worthwhile. I think there is some further information from some older threads here, will take a look and link if I have some time later.

I got him from a breeder :) I have seen baby pics of the litter from a young age but couldnt tell you which one was Launch as they were all identical :grin2
