Sanatoga wildlife control tip of the month:
About Chipmunk
A chipmunk is a small furry animal that is so cute that it is often used as a Sanatoga wildlife removal character in cartoons and children
movies. They can mostly be found in North America and there is a species called Siberian chipmunk that populates
Asia. There are about 25 species of chipmunks. Most of Sanatoga pest control chipmunk species aren’t protected because there are a lot
of them, but very few are because of loss of habitat. They can be reddish-brown, grey with stripes on their faces
and back. They have large eyes and bushy tail. Their size is 18.5 to 28 centimeters and they can weigh between 32
to 125 grams. You can find them from shrubby deserts to alpine areas, in burrows with a lot of tunnels and chambers,
and sometimes in nests, logs or bushes. Their Sanatoga animal control burrows are very clean and can be up to 3.5 meters long and have several
entrances. Some chipmunks even hibernate during winter, but they do not store fat, but wake up every two weeks to eat
their supplies they gathered during the year. Their hibernation lasts from late autumn to early spring. Food they gather
they store in lower, cooler parts of a burrow to keep it fresh. Their lifespan is somewhere from three years in the wild
to nine years in captivity. Most of the day they spend sleeping, and the rest of the time they look for food.
Chipmunks are omnivores, but primarily feed on nuts, seeds, fruit and buds. They also eat grass, fungi, insects, birds,
eggs and small frogs. They are sometimes considered pests, because they will eat agricultural plants. Food that they do
not eat they store for later consumption when there is not enough food. Their cheek pouches help them in transporting
food to the Sanatoga animal trapping burrow.
Chipmunks mate early in the spring and in early summer, having four to five young each time. Gestation period mostly lasts
for 30 days, and young chipmunks stay with their parents for about two months before growing up. Sometimes both males and
females raise their young. Their role in the forest is very important, because they transport seeds of trees, plants and
fungi around. Their natural predators are weasels, coyotes, snakes, hawks and foxes. When they sense danger, they will
produce a repeated, shrill, birdlike chirp, but they will also use it for mating calls. They are mostly solitary Sanatoga exterminator creatures
and will get together only for mating.
