Awww!! Good for you!!
I was on my way to my parents when I saw a dead raccoon and three babies milling in and out of the road around her. :(
So I gathered them up and called the local wildlife rehab and they told me to put them back where I found them and that they'd get along on their own.
:(
Guess if they are not injured, they don't take them.
What a cutie pie! I'm glad you found him.
Aww, what a cute critter. You were very brave to save him.
There used to be a groundhog/woodchuck that would come into my neighbors backyard and play with the kid's basketball. He would roll it around in the grass. Sure wished I'd had a video camera back then.
You're a hero!! :) So glad you got him to a vet to be checked out. I hope he's OK and will be put back where he belongs - far from any roads!
I'm very impressed by what you did! Hope this guy is ok. And thanks for showing what a woodchuck is. Never heard of them before ;)

I would never make it as a proof reader. I read right past that. Can you imagine a cat that big? :DQuote:

It was so nice of you to have help this little guy out. He obviously appreciates it, as he didn't want to get out of your nice safe carrier. Let us know what the vet says.
Shais Mom, thanks for the 'heads up," I fixed that. Too funny!
Ginger's Mom, groundhog and woodchuck are the same.

the babies were old enough to survive on their own.
wow!! :eek:
I've never seen one before! they sounds pretty wild too lol! Trust you to go into action without thinking :P Thats the rescuerer in you! :D
I'm glad you managed to catch him! I dont think I would of been able to lol
I can't believe how many people haven't ever seen a woodchuck before!!! Don't you know the diddy, "how much wood can a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood?"
Up date us, please!!
What a wonderful thing for you to do!
I hope you get an update from them!
Just phoned for a report.
Dr Chan checked him over on Friday. No fractures, no injuries that she could find. They fed him and let him loose and . . .
he RAN like the dickens into the woods!
I am happy for him, and relieved he didn't decide to RUN while loose in my car! :eek::D
Glad to hear he's fine! :) He's probably happy to be back in the woods.
Well, hope he knows that you saved his life! LOL ;)
