Yesterday found a live baby chipmonk. Barely hours old I would guess; eyes not open, no hair, pink little thing. I tried to put it where Mama could come back but she didn't so I have been feeding it a homemade mix of 1 tsp salt, 3 tsp sugar, & 1 quart warm water. It finally ate today. I put him in a little nest back in the tree to see if Mama would come back. I'm afraid ants will get to this baby now named Rocky! Afraid to go to the Vet w/him because it is against Colo. State Law. Anybody close enough to HELP!
Thanks, Suzi

Hi Suzi, welcome on board!

I do not know much about chipmunks, but if you go to this forum here:

I'm sure somebody can help you out with the animal as well as with finding
a rehabber!

Thanks for taking care of the baby!!!
