keep him warm and nurse him back to health,you can fix his leg yourself by using normal bandages,try and slowly bend his leg down a tiny bit everyday and hold it there with the bandaid make sure you know what he eats so you can feed him, remember he isn't a pet he is a wild baby animal he may bite.Baby chipmunk with broken leg... help?
Awww, the poor thing!


Try calling a vets, if you are in the UK- someone might be in to answer to emergencies. Then you can get advice for what to do until you take him in. Just keep him comfy and warm, and make sure he doesn't move too much. Also, check around to see if noone has lost one. There might be a distressed mummy chipmunk close by!
you really have answered your own question. you do not have any experience to help this wild animal. please please call around to your local vets right away. they can recommend a local rehab expert to care for it.otherwise it will probably die from shock alone.
id take him to the vets and they can amputate it or fix it just don't leave it suffering its not fair.
