I am not sure that they eat raw meat but theydefinitely eat cooked chicken. I have seen them do just that at my neighbour Ray (RIP-we'll miss you) and Carol's (wife of Ray) cottage at the beach. Now keep in mind that these are very tame chipmunks and may not apply to wild ones, who have little to no human contact. But since it seems that are known mostly as herbivores aside from bugs, I would not suggest feeding them any in case it is detrimental to their health.

Chipmunks have strong teeth that allow them to chew through soft materials like bark and small twigs. However, they are not generally known for their ability to chew through solid wood like a beaver can.

Chewing on wood in puppies can be due to a variety of reasons besides a nutritional deficiency, such as teething, boredom, or exploration. However, if it is excessive, it could indicate a lack of mental stimulation or proper chew toys. Ensuring the puppy has a balanced diet and providing appropriate outlets for chewing can help address this behavior.

They should not be able to if it is made well. They will most likely chew on the bars (you should try to discourage this-as the paint is not good for them-by giving them wood chew toys) but they can't get through them as they are just guinea pigs.
