Often like any other animal with rabies. The squirrel is not scared of you, chases you, acts aggressive, comes near you very often, so on
If it is hydrophobic, acting overly hyper and/or foaming at the mouth then stay away!
If it is acting overly hyper and/or foaming at the mouth then it is rabid. If you get bit call 911. z
how do you know if you have a groundhog or if it is a gopher in your yard?
Groundhogs can and do contract rabies and it is a concern. While they are not one of the most common vectors of the virus, a rabid groundhog isn't a pretty site and they will attack a person. They don't just carry it. If they get rabies, they will die from it.If a pet is bitten by a rabid animal, staying away from it isn't going to help you AND it can possibly expose you to the virus. If it turns out you have a rabid pet, you and anyone who came in contact with that pet in the last 6 weeks or should be treated for potential exposure as well. Rabies is virtually 100% fatal (with 6 known survivors). This is NOT a disease to sit around and wait to see if anything happens.
This myth is part of the folklore associated with Groundhog's Day. There is no way to know for sure whether or not a groundhog recognizes its shadow.

Yes, it did. There are six more weeks of winter! Yea! But it's a groundhog...what does it know?
I don't know for sure but that is what I have always heard.
not rabid
A rabid cat acts rabid
Groundhog Day is a fun tradition. It has no basis in fact, but it is a fun sort of tradition. It could have been any animal, but why not let the groundhog have a claim to one day of the year?
