He has a big pokeweed patch surrounding his holes, and his tunnel system was established long before we bought the house in 2020. I believe he is a descendent of a previous groundhog because we have an old tunnel system.
I first saw Bruce and Willis using our tunnels in 2023 and Willis dissapeared at the end of the year. Bruce has been still here since then.
He doesn’t mess with my other plants, he goes over to the woods sometimes and hangs out in the mulberry tree a lot

Uh, that’s a treehog
I love it! Bruce has been living the gravy train!
I love my resident groundhog, Fatty, and our rabbit, Bunny, has babies.
I had no idea groundhogs could climb trees!
Mulberry trees are like an all you can eat buffet for critters.
Just don’t stand or park under the tree when the berries are ripe! 😆
It’s only a groundhog if it’s on the ground. This is a woodchuck.
America’s version of Australia’s Drop Bear.
We have George. Last year, George made a nest under our patio. So in the fall when I knew it was a Georgia not a Georgine who had babies, we put down wire fencing, 2 feet, and then decorative stone block up for layers high. George happily relocated himself outside the fence towards the back end of the property and has been living happily ever after. He did love my tomato plants so I planted his own tomato plant near his burrow
.. I didnt know they could climb like that
If the critters just ate all the pokeweed and mulberries on my property , I’d be happy!
This is the way. Live along side the beasts and they bring you joy and a functional ecosystem!
We have a truce with our groundhog- she eats the Japanese knotwood behind the fence now, but the first year we had a garden we had some disagreements on whether or not she could have access to the cucumbers we were growing 😂 she too is a tree climber!
I sad he’s lonely 🙁
Every little soul must shine, shine!
Big same, I love to see ours. Haven’t seen her in person yet this year but her burrow is looking cleaned up as of recently. It’s right by the foundation so I really should evict her and fill it in… I’m hoping she could be convinced to relocate to under the shed, I don’t give a shit about the shed.
