😍 Eastern chipmunks usually inhabit deciduous forests and brushy areas. They live in shallow burrows in the ground that they dig by carrying away dirt in their cheek pouches. They often conceal the several different entrances and exits with leaves and rocks.

🐛 Eastern chipmunks are omnivorous and typically eat seeds, fruits, meat, eggs, insects and bulbs.

ICYMI: 🎃 Please do not leave plastic pumpkins outside! Be sure to bring them in after trick or treating and avoid using them in your holiday decorations. At the very least, remove the plastic strap to prevent the bucket from getting stuck on the deer’s head.

Love stinks! It's breeding season for skunks. Male skunks will p**f to find a female in the area. If she is interested, she will return the p**f. So if it is a little smelly in your neighborhood, it's because our striped skunks are trying to find their Valentine.
