Groundhogs like fruits and vegetables. Carrots, broccoli, tomatoes, bok choy, and apples are just a few. If you want to know what to feed groundhogs watch Chunk the Groundhog.
Chunk is definitely #1. Folks also need to check out Puff the Magic Garden. The young girl who runs the channel does so many creative things for her groundhogs and the other critters who live around there. She has some really cute videos.
Groundhogs are smarter than a lot of people, at least some I know personally. Jokes aside I used to work with a guy whom had a friend whom found an abandoned baby woodchuck and raised it, it was like a puppy, it would sit on the couch and watch TV with him, scratch the door when it wanted to go outside, etc.
I believe it! They would actually come running when Scott called them. There's some wild myths and half-truths out there about these little guys...like "Entire tractor...no, a fleet of tractors, (Yeah..that's it) were swallowed up by a groundhog burrow today!" ...but, I'm not seeing the science on this. If it wasn't for strict Ontario laws, I think they's be great pets. Thanks for the comment Andrew.
@@owltracker3030 Maybe Groundhogs do NOT make good pets, but for a different reason than what you might think. It is my understanding that they MUST hibernate from November thru March. (here in the Northeast , a bit less in the Southern regions) They won't live as long if they don't as I recall reading. So your Pet will be "away" for 5 months,..... no fun in THAT! :-) This year one of my back of garage mom's had 3 babies,...and one of the three is braver than the others and when I get on my knees, he/she? come over to eat up several crisp green leaf lettuce leaves,.... and allowed me to pet it several times. Probably about 1/5 of mom's size,....and the fur was more cat-like than what I was expecting. They're ALL spoiled, and as working from home I can spend a few hours a day feeding 40-50 squirrels, hundred of birds, and a few adult woodchucks and the 3 babies. They ARE so cute when small..... :-) Throughout the day, the woodchucks get a large(3 pound?) green leaf lettuce or similar (some days TWO), ...a pound+ of carrots, a large Broccoli crown, and they nibble in the squirrel's unsalted almonds and sunflower hearts. They also get into the bird seed and bird bread I put out (Arnold 15 Grain bread,...2 loaves a day!)
@@josephtousignant7318 Thanks Joseph 😊. That's a good point about the hibernation 👍. Especially with groundhogs as it is a deep one...like their heartbeats going down to 5 per minute. That's cute that one would actually come up on your lap too. Thanks again for the comment👍
@@owltracker3030 I just started feeding one of these things near a local park. He is around the same area every day looking for food so I'm sure he lives in the same spot. I think he recognizes my car because whenever I visit the park I see him there. I want to try to tame him more.
@@mediaguy4037 Sounds like you might have a new friend for life😀. I think he does recognize your car because momma got to know our cars within a few days.👍
Wow that groundhog is eating a cashew, the bacon of nuts. Such cute little fuzz balls eating their hearts out. I never tried to pet my critters, but they didn't run from me.
I have a mom and 3-4 pups out back. My husband and I feed them mostly apples, broccoli and carrots. The mom loves bananas. I can stand a few feet from them now since they are so used to us. They are so entertaining! They cuddle and wrestle. Believe it or not, one of the pups actually hops over/skips the stepping stones on their way to where we put the food out. Actually looks like a happy kid skipping!!
@@biancalana2372 Hi Bianca....thanks for the comment😊. They sure do love bananas don't they? The next video will show Frodo (a bit more grown up) relishing a banana. That skipping the stepping stones sounds hilarious. I'd love to see a video clip of that.👍
I just discovered a ground hog living on the property to this apartment complex I’m in. Can’t be seen leaving food out for him though. Weekends- weekends are freedom. Will they eat shelled peanuts? I have a 10 pound bag from my other wild yet tamed critters. 💜
Scott, all the best to you and your "kids"I was blessed with the trust of a ground hog several years ago.While he would come to me when I called him for dinner,I avoided any physical interaction.I did so because I have seen too many people gain the trust of animals only to turn them into ...well you know what.I truly respect the research you are doing and only wish I could intermingle with the "kids" as you are able to.
This is beautiful indeed and your heart is full of joy, i’m afraid he may come ro trust other human beings who may not love them and think groundhogs are a pest and harm them .... please don’t let them become pets, for their own welfare. I love the video, it’s only that as an animal rescue person, I’ve seen atrocities committed against unsuspecting, defenseless or trusting animals. I’m not talking about dogs and cats, only wild life.
He may seem harmless, but he, by himself, can destroy the foundation of your home, sheds, workshops, by burrowing underground. And they can decimate your garden or farm lands. They cannot fully be made tame . And, they can put a big hurt on a finger/hand that’s been bit. Don’t remember if they are carriers.
Bonjour 🐕, Ces petits Animaux sont adorable et ils n’ont pas peur des humains. Il faut absolument arrêter de les chasser ! Longue vie aux Marmote. Amitiés 🐕 🐕 🐕
How do u make groundhogs not be afraid of you when ever I try to approach a groundhog in my backyard they run away how do u do that they are super cute please reply to me on how to not make baby groundhogs afraid of you?
It was kind of funny at first. The male or father would always run away from us no matter what we tried. The female was gradually coaxed with food being thrown to her in lesser distances everyday and winning her trust. I still failed but Scott persevered and built a special bond with her. The babies seemed to have less fear. I'm posting another video next week of several clips of a 6 to 8 week old Frodo running toward the camera (put to funny music of course) in quite the displays of trust. He especially loves bananas. Thanks for your question.
Owltracker the babies have less fear because their prey defenses aren’t fully formed by the mother yet. You are interrupting this process, and threatening their ability to survive around potential prey, including humans if they have access to the area in question. This is something one must be prudent and suspect of doing in all circumstances
I am obsessed with groundhogs I did not know they would let you touch them ever! They are the cutest and I actually have a chunk the groundhog sweatshirt but I totally love seeing them being rubbed on. Would love to do that! I'm in love with all of them💖💖💖
Me too! We feed them and they still run away though. They run as soon as they see a human being. They're kind of chubby so they can't run very fast. It's cute to see how they try to book it back into their shelter.
As cute as they are they don't have to file a construction permit with the city when they alter your house foundation. Call 811 before you dig, dig it! Land beaver? Better at putting holes in dams levees foundations.
I dont think the mothers appreciate this situation. Ive had a very doting female for a while. I lm hoping for one of the children to survive and take back its mother's burrow.
Dang. They're even cuter when their small.
They're*
@@chinchy111 just insulted all the children and babies
@@chinchy111because humans still need to develop a lot after being born.
Most baby animals are already developed enough after the womb
Chunk! Is that you?
I love Chunk

This is just adorable! This baby is soooo cute,🥰
So cute 🥰. Funniest part was the baby was chewing on his finger. He’s like hey that’s my finger.
The way it just pauses and stares at the cashew in the beginning 🥺.

It doesn't question where its food comes from, like a true Canadian.

This is the best thing I’ve ever see. I love this so much. That baby is so cute 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
SOOOO cute. SOOOO soooo cute 😊🤗😊🍼 🍼🍼♥️♥️♥️♥️
We have 2 adults we feed here in Kentucky and just love to film and watch them eat. But this baby here takes the cake!!!

Cashews the bacon of nuts! LOL LOL😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Very underrated rodent

These groundhogs are so cute! Thanks for the work you’re doing here with this family.
Thanks Julieann.
Little baby is so so so so cute 💖💕💕💕
The little woodchuck reminds of the Little Critter character from the book series! 🥺
I've had pet groundhogs. VERY entertaining little animals. Better pets than cats, and dogs for companionship in my opinion.
This is exactly what I've been hearing👍. They do seem to form a tight bond with people. Thank you for the comment.

Hi Stephanie. They LOVE shelled peanuts. All the best.
How lucky are you Thankyou for caring for them 🙏💜
Lucky he didn’t decide to see if he liked the taste of finger better than cashew😆I see you have a good bond of trust with them.🥰
Great skills to socialize the wildlife. Bravo to you sir.
Yes, and when they lose fear of humans and then get killed or something by some assholes. it's thanks to you idiots. Bravo.
They are my favourite🤗. Love the lil toung when they chew...
Nice manners for a little dude!!!
My yard hog comes runnin for saltines with jif and pops up right next to me
Oh, a CASHEW! Yum.
im doing the same and there so cute. im feeding 2 groundhogs not sure if its male and female or 2 females but they love to eat lol
Good work : )
Love all creatures great and small.
Look up Chunk the groundhog

Everything's cool till a finger comes off 😂

They are susceptible to rabies. Fortunately these are healthy looks like. But yes, destructive when too close.
Adorable
Groundhog tv love it!!!
Such a cute little critter 😊.
I never really thought about them having ticks. Hope you are able to help them get rid of them.
Soooooooooooooooo cute !!!!!!!!! 🥰😍🥰😍🥰😍🥰😍🥰
So darn cute. Have you been watching Chunk the groundhog?
Haha. I have been watching chunk.👍 I just saw the one where he burped. Hilarious!
@@owltracker3030 that was an impressive burp too!!
@@mszoomy Wow...that little guy could blow out a candle from 50 feet away.😏
He is so precious
😄 Imagine having a cashew so big you have to hold it with both hands and take bites out of it... (In my dreams!) Lol 😂
Awwwe lol
This is sooo cute!

what a sweet baby
Adorable creatures!
Your connection with animals is a gift. You are a god!
Really enjoying that cashew! So cute!!
Ooooooh. So precious. Hopefully that cutie won’t trust any other human but you.
They all ended up being very selective in who they would trust.
Cuteness is all the rage. Get yours today. Cuteness is ruling the human mind beyond returning to normal. We are doomed as a species.
😆😆
Please don’t feed them salted nuts. Their bodies aren’t equipped to have that much in their system. Also give them fruits and veggies. They love them
Dude he already has a piece in his hand. Ain’t until he’s done!
Be still my heart.❣️❣️❣️
I've never seen something more cuter than this..

You can tell he's Canadian cause right after this he started eating a buncha donuts
That's right....and washed them down with some Molson Canadian, eh.👍
Hawks flying above ... lol 😂
Nam nam nam thanks! More? Nam nam nam
Aw, thank you, so sweet. I love them, adorable. Have you seen the channel for a groundhog called Chunk?
Thanks Sevi. Yes, I just recently started watching Chunk. He's extraordinary!
It is so cute
This study is just an excuse to hang out with groundhogs
Que hermoso animal, gracias por alimentarlo
So damn cute!
They are super cute, with their little tongue, little hands and feet.
Super cute ,right up to the time you lose a finger.
Hand feeding the groundhog is impressive, as is petting the mother! Btw, if you like these cuties, you’ll probably also like Chunk the Groundhog.
I love Chunk👍.
Cashew, Cashew, Finger, Cashew.....

i like this mama and baby
He looks like someone I went to highschool with
Already in the parking site, they wait for their Uber.
Hes so sweet
