These rodents are diurnal, and hibernate through the winter months. They are herbivores with grasses and other soft foliage as their primary diet, although they also may eat roots, bulbs, and seeds, even climbing trees to reach potential food. They feed in groups, with some individuals acting as guards to warn of danger. Their habitat is open fields, pastures, or sparsely wooded areas where they have a good view around them. They live in underground burrows located near the edges of fields, moving to a different den for their hibernation, usually in a wooded area. The burrow system can be as deep as 7 feet and meander for as much as 45 feet, with numerous entrances to it. The main entrance often has a large mound of dirt piled around it. Mating follows hibernation, young are born in 28 days, from 2 to 4 young per litter, and a single litter per year. Woodchucks live up to 6 years in the wild, but potentially 10 years in captivity.
Mice
Rats
Squirrels
Native animals in North America, comprising several genera of which Sciurus seems to be the most important with respect to their structural nuisance potential. The Eastern Gray Squirrel is very widely found, due to its introduction from its native eastern U.S. into the western states. Fox squirrels also represent a large group of widespread species.
Voles
Chipmunks
Chipmunks tend to prefer rugged ground covered with rocks and brush, but also live near agricultural lands where they damage planted seeds and young plants. Fruit trees also may suffer damage from their feeding, and they also consume nuts, insects, mushrooms, and bird eggs. Food is carried in cheek pouches and stores are placed in the burrow for consumption later, including during the winter when the animal awakens from its hibernation on regular intervals to feed and then return to sleep. Burrows are normally underground, but some species also create nests in trees, which they use part of the day. Adults are capable of living for up to 8 years, but in nature a maximum of 3 to 4 years is normal. Mating is in mid spring, and a single litter per year is normal, with 4 to 8 young per litter.
