Chiwa squirrels usually bite people because they are afraid. When feeding, it is recommended to prepare sufficient food rations and rest. After the chip squirrels are familiar with the environment and adapt to their owners, they will not bite people. In addition, chipmunk bites may also be caused by the smell of food on the owner's hands, and chipmother's estrus is also the cause of bite.

When the chipmunk bites, the owner should not scold it loudly , to avoid the chipmunk being frightened. During the breeding period, the owner can bring it more contact with strangers, so that it is not afraid of life. If bitten by chipmunk, clean the wound with iodophor to disinfect.
