She certainly likes the side of the cage that the heating pad is under, that's for sure!
I was really excited this morning. When I went in to check on her, she was awake and turned to look at me. Her eyes were still weary, but she kept turning to watch my hands as I cleaned the cage. Actually, it was hard to get a NON-blurry picture of her as she kept moving today. It's only Day 2 of prednisone (day 3 of meds altogether) but I'm feeling positive. She still leans her head to the right and isn't so steady, but she has propped herself up to clean and tries to get to her food herself.
A few questions:
1. Lulu-Bean loves so much food, most recently, avocado. I didn't give our ward avocado today, because I don't know what's appropriate. Is there anything that squirrels CAN eat that chipmunks CAN'T?
2. We can't tell how old she is. Is anyone able to guesstimate? Also, thinking long-term for her, how long do chipmunks typically live? We read 8 years?
3. What kind of chipmunk is she? They all look pretty similar to me, but I'm still doing a lot of learning.
Here are some (blurry) pictures and some videos of her scooching around this morning. Side-note: I have not heard back from the Wildlife in Need Center, but I have been in touch with JoanneInWis who has graciously offered her property if our little ward can be released.
