Gophers and Groundhogs

I see no reason for it to be unsafe for human consumption. It does seemingly eat a good bit of vegetation. I read that prairie dogs are edible and they feed on clean vegetation. Trusting that gophers are similar in their eating habits, than it will not likely harm anyone. Perhaps it tastes similar to chicken just like the prairie dog reportedly tastes like. You might need a few of those burrowing critters to get enough to eat. If it came to survival, I myself might even try cooking one for dinner, just to sample the finished product. If I cooked it in chili, I may be able to get people to try it without giving away the plot. Bon apetit!

Yes

Gophers tend to live where there are lots of green's to eat. They bury deep holes underground, and nest there.

No now spring will come early.

The Short-tailed Chinchilla has not been seen in the wild since the last one was spotted in 1953. They are breed in fur farms for their pelts, and for the pet trade. They are listed with a status of "critically endangered" with the population trend as "decreasing", according to IUCN. Red List There have been some reports concerning populations that might be on the border with Chile, in regions that are considered very isolated. While the Long-tailed Chinchilla has about half of it's population, roughly 5,000 in an enclosed protected reserve, and the other half, about 5,000 is on privately owned unprotected lands, but the Chinchilla is protected in any of it's habitats. For more details please, see sites listed below.

No. Australian possums, such as pygmy possums, do not "play possum" like the American opossum does. They are different species, with different habits.

groundhogs are rodents, not pigs, so no.

Yes they do! We have one living in our back yard in eastern Brookhaven! It eats grass and clover. We feed it lettuce and spinach too.

Raccoons and possums are both warm blooded, air breathing mammals. As mammals, they nurture their young on mothers' milk. Also, both being mammals, their limbs are oriented vertically, they have a four-chambered heart and they have a flexible neck with seven cervical vertebrae.

That is where the similarities end.

Raccoons are placental mammals and possums are marsupials. True possums are found in New Guinea, Australia (including Tasmania), Sulawesi (Indonesia) and a few other small islands in the Pacific region. Raccoons are mostly found in North America. Their feeding habits are different: raccoons are scavengers, but true possums are not.

Well, we sent our photos to the NC Museum of Natural history, and they confirmed it was definitely a 'skinny' groundhog/woodchuck. I must assume that yours was the same thing given the description. It didn't really resemble the other photos on the web; mainly because of its tail. But, the experts confirmed it. Mystery solved!

Yes they do.

plant called wiregrass is so used to fire that it germinates, or grows, out of its seeds, after a fire. The bare soil that remains after a fire is a soft and fertile soil bed. The wiregrass plant uses this soil bed to put down its roots. Without regular fires, wiregrasses might be taken over by trees and other plants that grow faster and taller.

An animal in Florida that likes to eat wiregrass is the gopher tortoise. Wiregrass is a big part of a gopher tortoise's diet, so regular fires mean gopher tortoises have a regular food supply.

Take A Bucket Some Cat Food And Some Thing That is can cover the buckets top like a piece of cardboard. Oh and gloves.

Step 1: Place The cat food in the bucket

Step 2:Place the bucket in front Of the hedgehog

Step 3: Make sure your wearing gloves and gently push the hedgehog into the bucket

Step 4: Quickly cover the top with the card board piece so it doesn't escape

(The cat food is there so the hedgehog has something to eat it also eats crickets!)

make sure you take the hedgehog where you think you need to release it. its important to release a hedgehog back to the wild but if you found it as a baby without parents you can keep it. Feed It Crickets or cat food! your lucky if you have a cat! I caught a hedgehog 2 years ago and feed it some cat food it loved it. but some hedgehogs don't like cat food So you will need to feed it crickets.(Don't Give it gold rings That's just in sonic!) You can Also Find crickets in Petland, Petco Or other Pet Stores! if you want to catch crickets look in grassy places! Hope This Help!

Catching Pokemon Is Easier!

In 2010, Sorry to say, yes, he did! 6 more weeks of winter! aw man! But 2011, he did not. Early spring folks.

A groundhog is a rodent of the Sciuridae family and belongs to the group of marmots. The groundhog can be found in North America and is most common in the northeastern and central area.

They love bread, but don't feed it to them- it can clog up their digestive system and doesn't provide the right nutrients, which can make them very sick

According to the pros at the University of Nebraska who conducted a fairly detailed study on these animals back in the 90's, no, Michigan does not have gophers.

That does not mean that things could have changed and they might have moved in. An easy way to determine if gophers have taken up residence is to inspect one of their mounds. Gophers tend to eject dirt from the burrow in a distinctive fan shaped pattern. Mole mounds are always shaped similarly to a volcano.

Yes they will and it does not hurt them either.

There are no specific Male and Female names for Groundhogs. Seeing as Woodchucks and Groundhogs are the same, the Woodchuck names could be used being He-Chuck for a male, and She-Chuck for a Female.

They see if spring will come early or more winter.

They are like a ground pig.

gophers do come up from the ground to feed!!

you feed it very specific south American seeds
