A squirel or a chipmunk will certainly eat a hole in a hose to get a drink.

Out west here....we have no groundhogs, and on the rare occasions I've seen 
them (always in the east) I thought they were pretty cool looking. Here we 
have rats....nasty grey Norway rats that run across the telephone wires and 
live in big landscape beds of Alergian Ivy....or way up in the tops of 
Mexican Fan Palms. I'd trade you our rats for your cute groundhogs, anytime.
