I haven't seen chipmunks after them but skunks regularly dig in out lawn and garden for them. Peter Stow Hubbards In a message dated 2014-06-12 7:23:40 P.M. Atlantic Daylight Time, dwebster@glinx.com writes: Dear All, June 12, 2014 Last week, for at least 10 minutes at Evergreen Nursing Home, I watched a chipmunk making holes rapidly and feeding on something in a small area of lawn. When it left, I found many funnel-shaped holes about 2 cm deep and 3 cm across. Some of these had a circular hole in the bottom about 0.5 cm in diameter. I gather it was feeding on some insect that was being detected by sound or scent because just about every digging was followed by a snack break. Subsequently I noticed many similar holes in nearby flower beds. It must have been dark and fairly small because from ~15' away I could not see any part of this food.
