VIDEO: Mummy chipmunk tries to put baby to bed – with hilarious results

This video shows it's not just human mummies who sometimes struggle to get their little ones into bed.

Try as she might, this chipmunk just can't get her baby to fit into its room (which is actually the bumper of a motorhome, FYI).

She is determined to get him in and doesn't look like she's giving up anytime soon.

But, just as we think she might have done it, she ends up throwing herself in there instead!

It's really kind of frustrating for us watching, too. Every time she gets close to getting her baby into their new home, she ends up inside it.

And if that wasn't enough to deal with, suddenly she is joined by a SECOND baby.

Then mummy tries a different tactic: instead of trying to push baby into their home, she gets back in and attempts to pull him up.

In the end, it looks like mummy's given up. Having tired herself out from the struggle, she simply lays in the bed and pokes her head out, still keeping an eye on her babies.

But worry not: we're told that she did manage to get both babies inside, just not until much later.
