Anyone know where I can get a pet chipmunk? One poster said something about them in bundang, but thats far from me. Anyone know of any pet stores that sell them in Seoul?
Thanks!

I had a pet chipmunk once - but after it tore up the apartment - it escaped..

Chipmunks don't really become truly tame

yes - you can get them to sit on you hand, but most pet chipmunks don't like being confined e.g. picked up.

When threatened even the tame ones will bite.

As they like to jump they can jump quit large distances and run fast, so they are not pets that could be called cuddly.

But if you have the time to look after them and befriend them they will give you hours of fun watching them.

why not just get a monkey?

There's a man with a small pet shop at Suyu Market. He always has chipmunks. Suyu Market is between Mia and Suyu Station on the light blue line #4. PM me if you want to go. I can take you there.

haha, i would love to get a monkey, too bad they're illegal here and i would never be able to get them out of the country. I read a blog in Korean about a place that used to sell them near dongdaemun, but it is torn down now. know of anywhere new that has monkeys?
