He doesn't get to spend much time with her due to his schedule and my daughter feeds her seeds through the bars and her friends come over and she gets attention from them too. TBH all she wants from her and her friends is seeds.
She only wants to shell them and stuff her pouches she doesn't eat too many but I still clean her stash time to time.
She is lighting fast in her movements when she wants to be, just like they are in the wild. Unlike squirrels chipmunks don't really like to be held but you can get them used to it, or if you have them imported from China, they have been bottle fed and pulled from mom they are much better at being held.
I am getting her acclimated to being picked up. It's a chipmunk thing.
She isn't anywhere as destructive as my grey squirrel was. He chewed for any reason at all. If he was happy he'd chew, upset, he'd chew, bored, he'd chew, chewing and destroying things it seemed was his idea of fun.
He was my first introduction to the world of squirrel ownership, though I didn't really own him he was released back to the wild, but I do own my memories of him.

If this picture came through it is Dash and he was very good with my daughter, he had to have a toy from her if she came in the room, he would flirt with her to inch his way closer and closer then quick steal a toy, to Chew of course!
He attacked my husband though, and that was very sad, but he couldn't be swayed into accepting him after he hit adolescents it's like the mind was sealed.
I couldn't introduce him to new people, he wasn't having of that. So it was with my baby Dash. I accepted him for what he was and cherish our memories together.
