MONDAY DID YOU KNOW?? GROUNDHOGS🕳️🐾
Did you know groundhogs are actually North America’s largest member of the squirrel family?
Here are a few things you may not know about them:
• 🕳️ Groundhogs are excellent diggers and can create extensive underground burrow systems with multiple entrances and chambers.
• 🌱 They are herbivores and can eat a large amount of vegetation, including gardens, crops, flowers, and landscaping plants.
• 🏡 Their burrows are often built underneath sheds, decks, porches, woodpiles, and other structures — which can make them difficult to spot until damage occurs.
• ⚠️ Their digging can weaken the ground around structures and create holes that can be dangerous for people, pets, and livestock.
• ❄️ Groundhogs spend the winter in their burrows and enter a deep state of hibernation, slowing their heart rate, breathing, and body temperature significantly.
Seeing signs of a groundhog on your property? It may be time to take a closer look at where it’s digging.
