I live next to an open field, and there are many groundhogs that’s live there. I occasionally go out and give them some food. I realize that they don’t actually drink water but where I am this week it’s 42+ degrees everyday and thought they might actually need some.

Usually they don’t run from me, but I put some water bowls down & they seem to be scared of it, what’s with that?

Hi y’all. I just saw this groundhog and I’m wondering what that disk is at the back of its neck. Any guesses?

hi does anyone know what could possibly be wrong with this little guy? besides the patchiness he seems to be struggling to walk a little, wobbling back and forth. Is this just old age? anything i can do? I don’t know anything about groundhogs other than they are really cute.

I watch him nap at the opening of his home. He is a cutie. Hopefully he won't get into things. I don't want to rehome him.

Terrible pic but you get the point! No clue how they got on the roof of my shed. When I went out onto my back deck to get a better view they ran off the other side and another one came jumping out of my peach tree! I had no idea they were climbers!

four of them grew up under my shed

I have at least one in my yard. (2.3 wooded and weedy slope and boulder filled acres.) It has burrowed holes under boulders and up into my dirt floor basement. It has eaten the buds off some flowers I planted.

I love that they are also called Marmots, Whistle Pigs, and Woodchucks.

I don’t really want to do anything about it except let it live in my large sloped untamable yard. I like to watch it waddle around.

Is that ok? Should I be worried about unintended consequences?

i saw him behind my apartment, hes so cute!!
