Why oh why oh why are my nuts all gone?
Red is now questioning life these days – he gets his pile of fruits and nuts and seeds, yet one minute they are there… and the next … they’re gone! Here he’s screaming for more! Watch out little chipmunk with the big cheeks… Red might have plans!

Georgie Hart
Oh no, you’re breaking my heart Red! But perhaps you need to develop some further food gathering skills – it’s always risky to rely on your looks to earn your keep! Although if you were to turn that face to me I’d be scrambling to find you a snack…gorgeous capture Maxy!
