HELP! WE HAVE A CHIPMUNK HITCH HIKER! (Resolved)

[carrottoes]

Yesterday, my family went for a hike up in the mountains. When we were going back, we slowed down to see some birds and a chipmunk, then we kept going. When we got home this chipmunk literally hitch hiked on our mini van! Now we have a chipmunk in our yard. I'm afraid it'll die here or get ate by the chickens. Chipmunks live in the mountains, not the low, valleyish type places. I'd like to know, how can my family catch this rodent to safely return it to the wild?

Help would be most appreciated!

i thought chipmunks lived everywhere in the woods, in northeastern U.S. near Pennsylavania, they live everywhere , i didn't think mountains mattered, just find some trees near your yard and adapt it to the enviroment.

Oh, well, our place isn't very woodsy and we don't have any other chipmunks around here.

Dont worry , i had a momma chipmunk raising her babies in a hole under the walkway /concrete slap.

If it were me, I would just make sure there was food and water available for him and leave it at that.

The chipmunk will be perfectly fine! It'll find it's way back to its home or maybe make a home in your yard!

Well, thanks everyone. I won't worry anymore, I think our little hitch hiker is making his/her way back home, my family hasn't seen him/her since yesterday. Or the little critter found a tree to live in. Thanks again!
