get a cat it will chase those bunnies out
I have not had a problem with rabbits burrowing in my garden to get to the plants, but I have had them eat the stuff above ground. I just used chicken wire over the stuff they like, either attaching it to the sides of my raised beds or making little cages to fit over the individual plants (or group of plants). It can be left in place for anything that has small stems and leaves as they will grow up through it. Rabbits only seem to like the first leaves of larger plants, so I just remove the wire when they have developed their third or fourth set of leaves.
Chicken wire can be found at any store that sells fencing. You do not need fence posts to use it this way.
Try putting mothballs in old food cans and set them in and around the garden.The smell of them usually drives away squirrels and rabbits.But don’t let them overfill with rain water.The chemicals may kill your plants.You just have to remove them during a rain and or watering.It want hurt if the mothballs get a little wet,this helps reactivate them after they’ve set awhile.You just don’t want them to spill in your garden.
My husband puts chicken wire around our garden. Lines the outside with marigolds as rabbits are supposed to not like them. Then sits on the deck with his BB gun. Sometimes he lays on the deck on his belly like hes in combat and waits for the critters to come. lol. I’m serious tho he loves his garden!
A chicken wire fence around your garden is the best way. Bury the bottom part about half a foot. If you have a country garden, a dog would also work well but it might do damage itself. A rabbit stew is not bad. Don’t let them run your life.
It sounds weird, but there is a product you can buy at some garden centers: coyote urine. The rabbits will smell it and avoid it like the plague.
A 22 slug is cheap.
wire mesh fencing and bury it a good 6 inches.
