What should i feed this baby chipmunk?

my stupid cat caught this baby chipmunk (well i think its a baby) and i have no idea what to fee the little guy,


i gave him some granola mix, with nuts and seeds, and raisins, and he might have had some, but what if he becomes dehydrated?


any suggestions on what i can do?


thanks!What should i feed this baby chipmunk?
Umm get a baby bottle if it seems thirsty and out eathier milk or water in it water ever seems to suit it and I think what you are feeding it is good. Well after you do that call your local animal shealter and ask what your supposed to do with it or call you local animal rescue group or animal conrol cause they can give you a name of a group that handles wild animal. Hope this helps!!!!What should i feed this baby chipmunk?
If it's a small baby, feed it milk formula. If it's grown, give it some water. But just so you know, it will never be able to fend for itself if you take care of it. If you just leave the food outside I think that's ok. We do that for the squrriel.
If your going to be feeding this little guy be very careful. It is a outdoor rodent and the possibility that it has rabies is there.


To feed it use a little bird seed mixed with a little milk at a time so it doesn't go bad.
Here's an article that is comprehensive on the subject:

This might sound stupid, but you could probably try Kitten Chow. If you're bottle feeding him, go to PetSmart (or somewhere similar) and ask them for puppy milk.
i think you can give it water or something that has water inside like food.
