Who can tell me how to help my baby chipmunk?

I think he may be suffering from internal injuries…cats bang around their prey a lot…and a baby chipmunk is so tiny. He may be in shock, also. Let him be for the night (got a little box he can crawl into…a kleenex box or something?)…For sure he won’t starve in one night, or die of thirst…honest…If he’s better in the morning, then try and offer him something to eat or drink (a chimpmunk wouldn’t use a water bottle like a hamster, so put some water in a lid and offer it).

well first off you said you are feeding him rodent food, this may be harmful to chipmucks! second he may need a bigger cage, chipmucks run around A LOT! third he may be sick or injured, so definately take him to the vet. fourth… he is probably paralized with fear, because 1, he is not used to being in an enclosed space and … 2, he is probably terriffied because of your cat! how can the little guy no for sure he wont get killed.

so do your research, take him to the vet, get a bigger cage, feed him the right food, AND KEEP THE CAT AWAY, hopefully on the oposite side of the house.

ps animals in severe distress or fear will often neglect eating, but this may be a sign of illness. good luck to the baby chipmunk. :)
