Wichita Wildlife Removal Tip of the Month: Wichita Groundhogs and Their Interesting Facts

groundhog s, popularly known as groundhogs, belong in the rodent family. They are known for their relentless digging habit that has been related with their destructive nature. By learning a few things about this wildlife creature, you will be able to find a solution to their infestation. You can also avert the possible damages that they can cause and reclaim your property from them.



Appearance of the Kansas Groundhog

The Wichita groundhog may grow at around 17-24 inches and can weigh at about 6 kilograms. This is at least twice the average weight of the newborn baby. Just like the other member of the rodent family, groundhog is equipped with a tail that can grow up to 25 cm. in length. They have a round body and appear like a miniature bear when they are in their standing position. They have claws that they are using to dig burrows. 

Habitat

The groundhogs are found Canada and the southern portion of the United States. They prefer to dwell in the wilds and wooded area. The groundhog will spend most of their time inside their den. They have the ability to create an intricate system. These burrows can usually be found in the dry areas of an open space. It can have a depth of 6ft and width of 20ft. Their burrows can have as much as 20 exits that enable them to escape the threat of the predator. During the winter months, their burrows will be located in the wooded areas, while the grassland is their favorite location during summer. The groundhogs prefer to keep their house clean. They regularly change the nesting materials inside their den. 

Behavior

Groundhogs are not social Wichita creatures. They will spend their entire fall and summer basking on the warm rays of the sun. They have a voracious appetite and can finish at least a pound of food in a single sitting. They will enter a hibernation period on the winter months. During their hibernation, their heartbeat will slow down at 5 beats /minute. Their respiration will also greatly decrease to 2 breaths /minute. Groundhog prefers to remain near their home. They will not travel more than 30 meters from their burrows. 

Diet

Groundhogs are herbivores which mean that they will eat plant-based sustenance. Their natural diet will be composed of Kansas grasses, plants, vegetables, and tree bark. Due to their large appetite, they are known to destroy crops and vegetations. This is why most people will treat them as pest. They try to eat large amount of food during the summer season so they can use the extra fat to survive when they go through their period of hibernation. 

At the end of their hibernation period, the male Kansas groundhog will come out of their den to look for the potential mate. Once he discovered the den of the female groundhog , it will immediately invade her burrow. According to the expert, this is the groundhog 's way of introducing itself to the female groundhog. Mating season will start during the spring months and after 32 days; the mother groundhog will give birth to 6 young groundhog s.
