How much fresh food?
« on: May 13, 2009, 04:15:12 PM »
Hi all
I have read that you  should not give chipmunks to much fresh fruit and veg to avoid diarroea but none have actually said how much is the right amount to feed them. Can any one give me an idea of how much to feed chippies.

I generally give mine approx half a handful of fruit or veg between two chippies per day.  So for example 4 segments of satsuma, 3/4 strawberries, small head of broccoli etc.

If you start off with small amounts and gradually increase them and keep an eye on their 'toilet' habits, you'll soon be able to guage what's right.
