Just because they’re young, doesn’t mean that they’re not nasty.
A couple of years ago, we had a mama groundhog and her piglets in our back yard. The largest baby, about 7-8” long, started to wander toward the front of our property and the road.
My Hubby stomped toward it and growled, trying to keep it near its mother and prevent its becoming road kill.
That tiny, little baby reared up, and then charged squeaking at Hubby, about 300 times its size! Hubby jumped back! It was one of the funnies things I’ve ever seen.
Mama called, and the baby ran off to her.
Hubby and I have been laughing at that little fellow’s fierce bravery ever since.
We’re very no-kill here. Anybody can live in our yard in no danger from us.
Until TSHTF, they they’re dinner. ;-)
Thanks for all the pings, Slings!
You may want to rethink that with groundhogs. They can do a lot of damage to your property.
Groundhogs undermined the floor of your barn one year and our harvester fell through the floor. It took two tractors and a lot of work to get that harvester out of the hole.
