Had ben hearing an animal squeeking around the Puppies cage for a few days.
This morning i had a good look around and found a baby chipmunk in the metal roof sheeting.
Bought it inside and put in an old colander with the burlap sack cloth, that was its nest. (could not find any other siblings, crows must have taken them)
Read up on its care and fed it using the scalded milk method. took the milk readily and is cosily nestled up in the sack cloth.
I have been looking for the parents @ the original nesting area (where the puppies enclosure was being stored by the buffalo sheds), but have not seen them or heard them. Will keep an eye out for them @ milking time, but doubt they will take him as he has been handled by humans now.
