How far away shoud groundhogs be released from a trap to be sure they won't return?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Groundhogs should be released at least 5 miles away from the trapping site to prevent them from returning. This distance ensures they are less likely to find their way back to their original territory. Consider releasing them in a suitable habitat with food and shelter to encourage a successful relocation.

How does a groundhog feel just before it begins its long sleep?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No one can tell you how they feel, since no humans speak groundhog. We can assume they feel fat and sleepy, but no one can say for sure. And if you write in this part, the computer assumes your question has already been answered, and sends it over to the "been answered" pile- where it will not GET answered. I caught your question by chance.

What does a groundhog do?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Last I checked with my groundhog he didn't have any superstitions, however, humans who live predominantly in North America have a weather forecasting superstition (or more precisely a myth) about him.

It is believed that the groundhog always comes out of his den on the second of February to ascertain the weather conditions.

If when he pokes his head out of hi den, he sees his shadow (the day is bright & sunny) then it is said he returns to his den because winter has six more weeks of control of the land.

If he does not see his shadow (the day is overcast or the weather inclement) he remains above ground and expects Spring to appear.

This can most likely be traced back to an old British rhyme:

If Candlemas be fair and bright,

Come, Winter, have another flight.

If Candlemas brings clouds and rain,

Go Winter, and come not again.

What does not see shadow or sees his shadow?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

a groundhog, of course~ Punxutawney Phil. All it means is this: if the little rodent casts a shadow, there will be six weeks left of winter. If he doesn't cast a shadow, winter will end sooner. This year, on Feb. 2, today, which is Groundhog Day, he did NOT see his shadow, so it'll be an early Spring.

Is it better to go walking before you eat or after you eat?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

For light exercise such as walking, it really shouldn't matter. Being completely starved when walking isn't much fun at all, but assuming you're well energized, walking before isn't going to create any problems. Unless you happen to consume a huge meal, it's unlikely you'll cramp doing something as light as walking, so walking after isn't a problem either. I'm sure some arguments about metabolism and weight loss will be made, but overall, it's just good to be somewhat active, whether or not it's the most perfectly optimum calorie burning activity.
