One woman’s backyard has turned into the cutest wildlife nursery after a mama groundhog chose the space under her deck to raise her seven babies.
TikToker Allee G, who posts as @alleemakeup, was thrilled when she discovered the furry little family living right beneath her deck this spring. Now, the internet is just as obsessed as she is.
In an adorable video, the proud groundhog mom emerges with all seven babies following close behind. Waiting for them is a tiny fruit buffet that Allee left out as a treat.
The baby groundhogs quickly get to work, nibbling away while sitting upright on their little hind legs. Lined up together with their siblings, the tiny snackers look almost too cute to be real.
Allee joked in the caption that her life has officially been taken over by her new backyard guests.
“Mama groundhog had 7 babies under my deck this spring, and now my whole personality is ‘groundhog,’” she wrote.

Honestly, animal lovers totally understand. It is hard not to become fully invested when seven tiny groundhogs show up for dinner every night.
In a follow-up video, Allee made viewers smile even more when she revealed that she sweeps the sidewalk before putting out the food each evening.
Her reason was simple: “It’s polite to clean for guests.”
The sweet routine has charmed viewers, who cannot get enough of the mama groundhog and her tiny family enjoying their backyard buffet.
For Allee, what started as a surprise under the deck has turned into the most heartwarming spring tradition.
