Just for Kids! Ask Azula: Do Chipmunks Make Good Pets?

I was thinking of catching a wild chipmunk. Do you have any opinions on this animal as a pet? —Erica, age 13

You may not like what I am going to say, Erica, but I’ve gotta say it. At ASPCA Animaland, we think it’s great to have companion animals as pets (animals who have been domesticated, or bred to live with humans), but we strongly believe that wild animals should not be kept as pets.
