Groundhog Steals Veggies From Man’s Garden And Eats Them While Looking At The Camera

Due to unpredictable weather and thieves, growing a vegetable garden can be difficult.

Jeff Permar sowed the seeds and took all necessary precautions to safeguard his growing vegetables. He was no stranger to wild animals trying to get into his lush garden, but he hoped a wire fence and scarecrow would deter most of them.

He noticed chunks missing from several tomatoes one day and was determined to find the culprit. Jeff installed motion sensors in his garden and was astounded by what he discovered. His phone notified him of a motion, and when he opened it, he saw a groundhog appear right in front of the camera.

Not just any groundhog, but a brazen one that stole from Jeff’s garden at least three times a day. Once the groundhog had stolen a tomato or carrot from the garden he would sit in front of the camera and stare into it as he devoured his spoils.

It was like he was saying, “I’m eating your garden. What are you gonna do about it?”

Jeff was initially upset and told The Dodo, “Oh man, I can’t believe this is happening.” He replaced his fence with a taller one and placed logs along the perimeter, thinking it would prevent the groundhog from entering. He soon found out his attempts were useless.

While the camera detected raccoons and other wild animals partaking from the garden, they all grabbed and ran. Instead of fighting the groundhog, Jeff embraced his new friend and actually looked forward to seeing him on camera. The adorable animal was quite a character and eventually won Jeff’s heart.

“Wow, this guy is awesome. He can have whatever he wants,” Jeff said and decided to name him Chunk.

However, Chunk was not done surprising Jeff. While watching a recent motion notification on his phone, Jeff was shocked when he saw Chunk and another groundhog eating in front of the camera. Apparently, the two were seen kissing, hugging, and arguing, so they must be a couple

Thanks to Jeff’s garden and generosity, the couple retired under his shed to hibernate with full bellies. He hopes they will return in the spring, but plans to build a separate garden for wild animals.

Watch the shameless groundhog in the video below and don’t forget to share. Follow Chunk on Instagram and see countless videos of him eating and chomping, which is only adorable when he does it.
