Hi-
strange posting you may think, but I'm looking to adopt an orphaned groundhog. I'd like a pet groundhog and am looking to pay someone for their "garden-unfriendly" baby groundhog.
I know that a lot of people might not think this is a great idea, but I've done a good amount of research on it and am willing to give it a go.
I don't want to go and just take one from the wild, but I've been told that come October and November a lot of groundhogs become orphaned when their mothers get hit by cars, shot or otherwise disappear.
I live in New York and would be willing to drive (a reasonable distance) to come pick up the goundhog. However, because I'm raising the animal in captivity, I need to start with a baby groundhog rather than taking a full grown adult out of his element.
If you've got some groundhogs that you might not want and you'd be willing to trap him HUMANELY, I will be willing to pay for the little guy.
Thanks, marianne snipped-for-privacy@netzero.com
