He suspected the culprit lived under his shed, so he installed a motion-detecting camera nearby and waited.
Jeff recalls that Chunk looked straight into the camera like he was saying, Yeah, I’m here.
I’m eating your garden.
What are you going to do about it?'
Chunk had a ravenous appetite, and certainly wasn’t a picky eater.
All his efforts were in vain, especially when Chunk began bringing his girlfriend to share in the spoils.
Once the groundhogs went into hibernation, Permar began working on the surprise.
I was looking every day, he says, wondering, Is he gonna come out today?
The two were delighted with their garden, continually returning to enjoy the fruits and veggies.
Then, not much later, their family grewPermar noticed baby groundhogs showing up in the camera footage.
Now, I literally have five groundhogs that are coming in and out, he chuckles.
We all coexist, Permar explains in the bio of the channel.
This is his land too, I just put a garden on it!
So, Permar decided to plant him his own garden instead.

After that, it wasn’t long until they were baby groundhogs munching away, too.
Now, Permar is feeding several hungry groundhogs, but he doesn’t mind.
They’re just trying to survive, he says.
