The squirrel likes to have its head and belly touched, but will only be willing to let its owner touch its belly if it is very familiar with it. Squirrels also like to have their noses and the hair between their eyes touched, and they are also very sensitive to touches on their ears and limbs. Each chipmunk likes to be touched in a different place. Generally, chipmunks will make the sound of grinding their teeth when being touched comfortably.

Precautions for raising chip rats:

1. Food. The squirrel's favorite food is mealworms. Human foods that are too high in salt and heavily flavored are prohibited from being fed to chipmunks.

2. Management. Squirrels are most afraid of heat, especially in summer. The sultry weather will make Squirrels breathless. You can use radiators, ice packs or marbles to cool down Squirrels.

3. Environment. Squirrels like to move. The cage for raising Squirrels should be large, and it is best to prepare some rollers in the cage for Squirrels to play with.

4. The reproductive capacity of squirrel rats is very strong. Do not keep female rats and male rats together.
