    This just happened to me today. A chipmunk was startled by me as I opened a door, and bolted… Her tiny week old baby was left sprawling near my feet.

    I used a hand warmer and some microfiber cloths to keep it warm, then thankfully the mother came back for it… But like… Wtf, Mom?

      The baby can’t survive without its mom. But the mom can make new babies.
