The groundhog - a varmint found while harvesting crops on the Homestead.

A Varmint is a pesky animal which appears while doing certain tasks on the Homestead such as Clearing land, chopping Trees, harvesting Crops or feeding Animals. Varmints used to cause surrounding areas to have a red Aura, indicating actions performed within the Aura will consume Energy-icon.png +1 extra Energy until the Varmint is clobbered or scared off. Some items, such as Animals and Crops, can be moved outside of the Aura's range. The Aura has been removed and it is not known if this is a definitive change or only a temporary one.

    I'm still having problems with groundhogs. I have 2 missions that I need 1 more groundhog to finish them and I can't get them. It's just about 8 months now that I've been working on these 2 missions. Anyone else in the same situation???

    you can clobber them, kill them with the cannons, and now you can kill them with your dogs :D

    someone could also show the different ways to kill the varmits :D perhaps for the new users to the game lol

    I've been planting crops and planting crops and no groundhogs. Does anyone have any solution as to how I can attract them? I need 12 for 3 different missions. One mission I've been doing for 2 months.

    Varmints are becoming boring... 1) you have a bug - you threaten that tending by a varmint will cost 1 extra energy, but actually it doesn't. I keep tending by my varmints and just ignore them. 2) the fact that can only be one of each, brought us to raise our pet varmints - I have a tamed fox among my chickens (which I only feed with the coop), and I don't have to deal with any other foxes. Same for pet hedgehog (pick around it, no extra energy), snake (clear debris around it, no extra energy), and a pet bear!

    On the other hand... it was nicer when they had a chance to fall off my land, and that the hedgehog moved too...

      Thanks for listening! The groundhog trap is so cool. There are so many groundhogs now, watching the them being trapped is so funny - definitely not boring :-). And having real groundhog pets... what a treat! :-)

    Is anybody else having a problem getting varmints? I've been harvesting crops left and right and I can't get an effing groundhog to save my life to finish this quest.

    I quit the game because of them %#^&*^$ varmints. There should be an option to turn varmints off an on, it sucks when you're spending more energy on killing varmints than on actually playing the game.

    by A Wikia contributor
    • 74.117.42.86

      it wasn't bad when you could chase them away and leave them there, i would just chase the groundhog away from my crops and have no problems, but now they stay in one place. and they are much more frequent than they used to be. the last time I played i harvested 60 crops and had to kill 7 groundhogs, thats a little too much.

      And what the hell are you talking about, "they are much more frequent"? Bull****. 80 peas yesterday, and I got 2 groundhogs. 80 tomatoes yesterday, 2 groundhogs.

      You can move your crops and leave the varmints where they are. Then plant more crops and move them when they are ready to harvest.

      you are not alone-got one in the cage and could see the eyes but the game wouldn't let me catch him

      by A Wikia contributor
    • 99.236.180.15

      I agree with you. I spend more time and energy killing varmints then doing anything else. I get rid of one and 2 seconds later it's back. I don't know how many times this has happened to me, coming back right away, and they don't just come back once, they will come back 3 or 4 times before they finally go away. The groundhog is getting harder to clobber too. I can't clobber him as fast as I can the other varmits. I sure wish they would have them come out less.

    Lol, I just clobbered a groundhog and a ghost groundhog appeared, is this some sort of bug? xD

    • Corielle

      No, I've heard there is now a 1% of getting a ghost. Don't know how true that is, though.

      by Corielle
    • Psychic acid

      The 1% was confirmed by a moderator on Zynga's forums as coming directly from one of the Devs, I'll link it here if I can manage to run across the thread.

    There seems to be a recent change where you can't chase varmints off your property anymore.

    And why are my comments being deleted?

    by A Wikia contributor
    • 69.143.164.133

      Weird. OK, this one can be deleted. :(

      by A Wikia contributor
    • Corielle

      ...None of your comments have been deleted.

      I found this with my comments before I registered - I would post them, refresh the page and they'd be gone. Created an account and I can see they're all still there, so I assumed maybe someone needed to approve/reply to comments from unregistered users before everyone could see them? But that doesn't make a lot of sense... a bug with the comments? I dunno. But I have spotted a few "Wikia contributors" asking why their comments were deleted.

      -Update: Possibly a bug with google chrome? I was having the same problem with comments from this account, cleared my cache and history and it was fixed.

    There seems to have been a recent change where you can't chase varmints off your property anymore. Also (and this could just be a perception), but it seems to be getting harder to get varmints to show up. I fed 20 geese and 40 chickens last night and didn't get a single fox. Might just be a temporary measure to keep folks from getting too many [Mystery Animals] from the [Winter's a Comin' Goal Series]?

    Apparently you can have more than one of a type of varmint on your homestead now. I have two snakes at the moment.

    Do trees have to be full grown to get bears out of them?

    by A Wikia contributor
  • 67.201.179.3

    Once you have scared him away on our own homestead, you have to go to your neighbors' to find him again. I scared him away from all my neighbors' places the night before I got the goal to scare him away from neighbors' 5 more times. -Then- I couldn't find him again. I finally gave up, but when I logged back in this morning, my goal was magically cleared. O.o

      The Headless Horseman varmint only appears after placing the graveyard for the first time.

    • -Gemma

      You can feed a chicken or a goose to (only some of the time) get a fox varmint. Just sayin'

    If you have a groundhog on your ranch somewhere, a new one won't come until the old one is clobbered.

    @ Michael.d.angel.... :: just plant the potatoes..... groundhogs love potatoes

    You keep harvesting crops and hope that you get one.
