Where can you adopt a chipmunk?

i saw alvin and the chipmunks and now i really want one and it doesnt have to talk. Does anyone know where i can get one?Where can you adopt a chipmunk?
Chipmunks are not legal pets in every state, so the first thing you need to do is check your state's laws.





If it is legal to own a chipmunk, then you need to find a breeder - you (obviously) can not just capture a wild chipmunk - that would be illegal and dangerous (wild chipmunks bite and can carry diseases, and are not suited to captivity).





Many breeders of pet chipmunks in the US do not have native American chipmunks, as many states do not allow native wildlife to be kept as pets, even when the animals are captive-bred and not taken from the wild. A few breed Least Chipmunks, a breed I do not thnink is suitable as a pet, but obviously many people would disagree with my opinion.





If you find your state allows chipmunks as pets, do a web search for chipmunk breeders in or near your state. The breeders will be able to give you all the info on suitable habitat, food, veterinary care, etc. Be sure, if you get a chipmunk, that you find a vet that is experienced with that species BEFORE you get the animal. Once you have it, if there is an emergency and you need a vet in a hurry, there is no time to be looking through the phone book and trying to find a vet that will be able to treat your pet. Ask the breeder that you purchase the chipmunk from if hr/she can recommend a good vet. Once you find a good vet, ask for the name and phone number of at least two more vets that can treat your chipmunk in an emergency if your vet is unavailable.





Good luck!Where can you adopt a chipmunk?
why ? You cant and should not.
very bad idea..... they are not domesticated and do not make good pets. Get a hamster.
Not.....a good idea!

then think it over again


pet stores have mostly wild chipmunks they bite
I think the're illegal to keep.
