grady the groundhog

my little buddy

[@JuliaL55]

Love these little guys. I had one as a pet for a while, it LOVED bananas and raisins, apples every so often, cheerios, oats, veggies and fruits and nuts mostly. Slept with our cat. We have some who live under our shed and when I go out and want them to come I make kissy noises ..they come looking for handouts, which they know I have. Wonderful gentle creatures once they learn to trust you and don't run away. :) Whistle pigs my dad always called them cause they whistle to alert others.

One lives behind the theatre I work at. I feed him all the time. He's halarious. comes out and waits for me. I could easily see having one for a pet. Nice friendly critters

[@dbdgirl-o3i]

There are currently 3 USDA breeders, Fraizer Farms TN (600$) for baby, Kokatsexotic in Greencamp, OH (700$) for baby and IO(Iowa) Critter Haven Exotic "Troy" he charge 350$ for a baby woodchuck

Not so fast there Julia, its mid June here in Mi. I had a Mother (guess) and two pups settle on my property last summer. I enjoyed watching and feeding them all summer. I too was really disappointed when mid fall one pup and big momma disappeared. One pup stayed over winter. That pup was killed by a car just recently in May. Not one week ago first week in June (2022) Big Momma returned with 2 new pups. Oh but wait I found out she had 3 pups. So now I know she had a separate home site to deliver her pups late winter or very early spring. They are goofy and fun to watch. Hope they hang around all summer and hope they don't eat my freshly planted garden too.

[@AdrepKeith]

@@monmixer what do you feed him? I just put out cracked corn.

[@josiewest1]

I saw one in my yard at the beginning of the summer. After that I started to leave food out, nuts and fruit. He came every day, all summer and gave my grown children and I such a treat. We truly enjoyed watching him. He hasn't come around for the last week and my heart is broken. I think something must have happened to him and I feel so sorry. I like to think that the little guy went into early hibernation but it seems too early. He was so small, this was probably his first year.

[@alanlaidler]

I miss him so much. I had to give him up when I lost my place

[@maryw.5779]

I'm sorry you lost your house and groundhog. I hope the next homeowner treated him well. If you still like groundhogs, you might enjoy the groundhogs of Chunk the Groundhog. Those guys live in a groundhog paradise, as far as I can see. They don't get patted, however, so you and your buddy did better in that respect.

[@margaritaabaracon9801]

Although this was 8 years ago, I’m so sorry you’ve lost your house. Although taming a wild animal is beautiful and rewarding for us, almost a magical feeling, if he comes to trusts other humans, like he trusted you, these people may consider him a pest, a plague or dangerous, and they will kill him. Please, please, if you do this again, be sure you go into his habitat and not the other way around. For their own well-being and that of his offsprings.

[@bhellsite2854]

What a handsome lad. I love you Grady.

[@louisemichel9999]

Bonjour 🐕 , un joli petit Animal il faut absolument arrêter de les chasser. Les Animaux ont le droit de vivre sur la planète. Amitiés 🐕 💓 💗 🐕

[@wiltonpt1]

soooo cute! what a wonderful cuddly looking creation!

[@chanticross8828]

So cute I have one in my backyard and I gave it a banana today. Thanks KZbin for sharing. Love your sister in Christ. 😃

[@pnfei]

how it possible? the creature is super vigilant. you're something magical

[@maryw.5779]

Oh, wow. He let you pat him when he was busy eating! That's also the best time to pat my hamster. Were those sunflower seeds you were feeding him? I've been a groundhog fan since I was little, many decades ago. Thank you for sharing him with us.

[@slaveNo-4028]

they still don't seem to particularly like it, they just are too busy eating. same thing with most cats. humans bribing their way into friendships and then tricking themselves into thinking it's mutual

[@coolnvigilantoutreach9418]

Lol. Don't make him mad, they pack a mean bite

[@nadiahope1175]

They are cute, but farmers hate them....they collapse foundations of barns, sheds, even houses. They dont mean to, it's just in their nature to dig tunnels. Way in the fields, yes, but not around structures. You make friends with them, they'll move under your house... and collapse it!.....

[@kylieknight2365]

Oh my god chonky chops 😂😂😂❤️

[@LittleEgypt72]

I know it's so fluffy

[@zacharyschlatter4076]

Such a good boy

[@naturalreach4316]

Interesting video

[@marciaspiegel5280]

I've had groundhogs in my yard for years. I know it's spring when they come out under the feeders when I call the birds.

[@kayphenix95]

That was so cute

[@demonorse]

Von Helton's nightmare.

[@gomer2813]

please, people, never make kissing noises unless you are kissing

[@nenyaga]

God bless your soul

[@payableondeath9091]

💯😇

[@kellybrackin9214]

He’s so cute!! He’s my spirit animal! My birthday is February 2! What does his fur feel like?

[@catsmeow6848]

A fat little fritter......cute.

[@darkbendover]

what are you feeding him?

[@AweSomo84]

i would be like this!. i once saved a raven .

[@ricosavage4281]

Amazing video

[@babydollgeek]

what are you feeding him in the bowl?

[@SUBSTANCEVIDEOZ]

This was how coronavirus was started

[@mdcraig62]

Grady is his slave name.

[@tungsten4422]

How did you tame him so that he would come to you?

[@napenheimer01]

I’m taming one now slowly just keep getting closer and be patient

[@araynova]

It's hard for brothers like Grady to trust jokers. They've been set up (in traps) by the oppressors too many times.

[@colombier1]

nice !!!

[@tbr2109]

Looks like black oil sunflower seeds.

[@cody12zombies]

I want a pet woodchuck :(

[@jesusmv92]

do they let themselves be hugged or kissed? ?

[@davethepondguy9533]

seems like they're very skittish. do you ever get to pet him or is that a big no no on his terms

[@tallisonrausch5719]

Uh, re-watch vid. He got molested up & down.

[@darkestjedi]

OMG!!! The voice on this sounds just like the dude with the vest and moustache from The Family Guy, I think he's the councillor.

[@pornstarlivesmatter3319]

well im now talking to and feeding squirrels so....

[@AREA-51moto]

[@2kes]

Awww, he's cute. Does he ever let you pet him?

[@bluesky7162]

9 years and he hasnt replied damn bro

[@thegamingchef3304]

Lol I like how he pets him in the video but still asks the question.

[@HighlanderNorth1]

Nice job. Its a shame more people don't take the little bit of time to watch these videos and learn that groundhogs aren't mean or dangerous in any way. Its amazing how many people think that groundhogs will hurt them somehow, because they seem to assume that they are vicious for some reason. Nevermind the fact that groundhogs never behave aggressively towards people...

[@EricKlein]

What kind of dog is that?!

[@tubepiggy888]

Prairie !

[@AweSomo84]

ooh this really sucks , try to ask the folks who life there now? :( whope things go well

[@markbeck9037]

.22 Winchester Magnum!! Lol

[@sachariadiasyamsuddin3848]

Di Indonesia tidak ada ground hog

[@nonchalantd]

Bahaha...you should narrate programs about nature and animals or work at a zoo.

[@gerff01]

Gonna regret that when its ripping your house apart underneath....

[@BlackWolf-xz3qm]

dude, shut up.

[@gerff01]

Black Wolf Just saying, they are some destructive little bastards.

[@HighlanderNorth1]

Gerff They don't eat wood. They dig narrow tunnels several feet underground. It's pretty rare that they cause any type of structural weakening due to their tunnels. Plus, it's likely that his den isn't actually under the deck. He probably just uses the deck as cover when he travels across the yard to and from his den, which is probably somewhere else. We have a small network of groundhog tunnels at my mother's home, and yet the exits and entrances are all away from the 2 sheds that are right there. They go under the sheds, but their dens aren't under there.

[@cindybooth7067]

They eat your food from your hard work in your gardens!!!!

[@lysavaniboobies]

What were you feeding him?
