RE: Help find me a pet!!
you cannot have a wild chipmunk as a pet, they wont survive in an enclosure.. so all that trapping and backyard stuff is rediculous. and north american chipmunks are not endangered
ORIGINAL: Some guy?
In most of the eastern United States there is only one species of chipmunk, appropriately named
"eastern chipmunk." They are not endangered, and as with all wildlife the best thing we can do to
help them is protect their homes and habitats.
Least chipmunks live in northern Wisconsin and Minnesota, they are not endangered. There are many
species - about 20! - of chipmunks in the western United States, many of which have very small and
isolated ranges, which makes them more vulnerable to loss of habitat. I don't know if any are
endangered.

lol i called up an 'exotic' pet shop today and they said it was illegal to have a regional animal as a pet...so i guess i cannot have one...the only chipmunk i can have is a chinese chipmunk..and the guy said those are 'vicious bastards'...kinda depressing...so what else is a cool but little animal...and no chinchillas because they are dirty and smell funny and take dust baths...

Aquatic turtles are easy to take care of, Red Eared Sliders are the easiest, put thm in a good size tank of water, with 2 filters a heat lamp and a UVB lamp, and throw the fish and turtle pellets, theyll be fine
