[AlpacaTalk] groundhog holes in alpaca field

 

I am getting my new field ready to bring my sheep and alpacas in and there are three large groundhog holes that are just looking to break a leg on one of my animals.  I am pretty sure the groundhogs have gone down for the winter here in Maryland.  So, I don't think I can trap them and remove them, but have GOT to fill these holes.  Any suggestions?  An old farmer near my says they pour a bag of concrete down the hole, it goes down to where the tunnel bends and the ground water hardens it, then fill with dirt.  But, I hate to think of burying the groundhog alive, even as dangerous as the holes are.
