I threw the chipmunk out. It was just an idea which is why i asked before I ever did. Also I have a hamster at home. It's one of those Russian dwarf hamsters. She's really cute but she bites me everytime I go to pick her up now because I had to move her into a large tub from her wire cage that she loved. She kept climbing and falling so I didn't want to see her hurt herself. Hamster bites are annoying though.
