Re: Groundhogs

Now...you guys need raccoons...they kill ground hogs...of course they do about as
much damage...but they are hilarious if you put marshmallows out for them to eat...:)

(I have never seen my Lamium bloom...and I have TONS of it on a hillside. The ground
hogs eat the apparently delectable flowers just before they open fully...)

Tom said, "I'd trade you our rats for your cute groundhogs, anytime."

Not at all a fair trade as we already have Norway rats in the east and Midwest, and
brown rats, too.

A family of groundhogs can demolish a very large vegetable garden in an evening.
There are few plants they don't like or will at least chew on.
The adults are more than five times bigger than adult rats.

You would not like groundhogs in your garden.  However, if you send me five rats,
I'll send you five groundhogs.  If my traps work (I've had good luck using peanut
butter and broccoli for bait), I should be able to get them off to you in the the
next day or two.
