GROUNDHOG BABIES......

We have groundhog's living in our barn.....well, under our barn.  Since Groundhog's make burrows, that's where they live.  A little information about Groundhogs.

"Groundhogs begin hibernation mid October and emerge in February. Their burrow system is located about 2-4 feet underground and may extend 15-25 feet horizontally. The main groundhog nest chamber is usually located at the end of the burrow. The main entrance is seen as a mound of fresh earth around the opening."

We have 3 Groundhog babies right now.  They usually come out in the morning and evening to eat.  We have a lot of Clover growing in our back yard, right in front of the barn.  The Groundhog's love clover.
