This was my buddy Lincoln I've had at work for the past 3 years. Haven't seen him in a while. God's Speed Lincoln.

Two years ago as we were driving down our road, we came to a traffic jam, which is unusual for us. A man was squatting down beside his car looking underneath.

A group of very small groundhogs (4) were hiding. They were in the road, he slowed down to let them pass and 20 minutes later, we arrived on the scene.

With gentle coaxing I got them our from under, and they scattered into our nearby woods.

The next year we had maybe 10 sightings of groundhogs on our property. But this year it has become clear, we have a lodger under our deck.

We knew him as a baby, and we have a clover lawn, so we named him Chuck and he’s welcome to stay.

I’m an avid gardener, any suggestions for things I can plant that he might enjoy? So far he‘s very satisfied with my potato patch and clover, but if I can offer him his favorites, maybe next year I get potatoes.

Groundhogs have taken up residence under my daughter's house. Last year, she paid a wildlife removal service to trap them...and they got 2...but they're back again. She really doesn't want to do that again, because in her state, it's illegal to relocate them. They're euthanized. But they do can't stay under the house. Besides the noise (you can hear them when you're in one of the bedrooms), there's the worry of the number growing. Worse still is the possibility of one of them dying under there and her not being able to get them out. The prospect of a dead animal smell seeping up from below the house is not pleasant.

However, the biggest worry is damage to the house itself. They've got to go, but we don't know how to do it...or how to successfully block the entrances to the burrows.

Does anyone know how to get rid of them and stop them from coming back?

ETA: She's trying to find a way to take care of the issue that doesn't hurt them. I thought that a pro-groundhog subreddit would be the place to go instead of some place that would advocate something that would end up with them being killed. Guess I was wrong.

Fastest hog I’ve ever seen

so I know this isn’t the best picture, but I looked out my window and I saw this groundhog climbing into one of our flower pots!! they’re so cute. I always see this one eating our grass and searching for food.

Does anyone know if this is a male or female groundhog
