Gorgeous Siberian chipmunk Piccola is a returning Animalcouriers passenger. This much-loved pet travelled with us three years ago from Italy to Cambridge in the UK. Now owners Pamela and Dario are heading back to their Italian roots, and Piccola is making the return trip with us.

Piccolo the chipmunk has striking markings and a wonderful fluffy tail. She loves snacking on fresh fruit and nuts.

With Piccola safely delivered to her new home in Bolzano, near the Austrian border, Pamela wrote to say:

“Thank you very much for bringing our Piccola back to Italy and for your infinite patience with my hundred emails. We had a very hectic house moving and now we are finally settled and enjoying our new city. Piccola seems happy and enjoying her new home. For us it meant so much that she travelled with you again, the peace of mind knowing she was fine no matter what.”
