HI there,
   I have a very large avairy, about 15ft x10ft x8ft,outside and 8ft x4ft x8ft inside, and i would like to no that when breeding chipmunks, in this size avariy that i have, is it best to leave them to there own ways , or should you remove all the males, or should you remove all the female, or do take all the pairs out and put them into there own cages, what is the best way to go about this to have sucessful litter,
                                                                                    thanks
                                                                                           Martyn.

Hi, what ratio of males and females do you have? As this will be important as to whether there will be fighting over the females. Females often become aggressive when pregnant to other females and also males. I'm no expert as haven't had large groups of Chipmunks, maybe ask Tarcus think he has a large group in a big aviary and could help more. There are other members who have lots of experience breeding.
