A neighbor has a groundhog with 4 small babies on his property. He is trapping them to relocate. Beyond the point of whether or not he has the required permit, the offspring are small and I am assuming vulnerable. I read that they are ready for a den of their own at 5-6 weeks. They are out of the burrow eating, but each one is probably no bigger than a size 7 shoe. One is even smaller. Aren't they too young to relocate at this time?
