Since wrote this – the bunny population in our garden is much less – we have seen crows attack the baby rabbits in our garden even thou we try and scare these birds away and hear foxes at night. There are few squirrels and deer don’t often walk through in the early morning. But we do have badgers – they leave behind holes in the grass where they have looked for worms and slow worms in the compost heap
In 2014 had large family of rabbits living in our garden, their nephews, aunts, uncles, grandparents, great grandparents and a lot of their friends that have moved into our garden while i have been busy growing small plants and vegetables ready to plant out.
Seems althou there is plenty of grass – they prefer newly grown Cosmos, Phlox, Poached Egg plants and French Beans. Plant one day and they are gone the next. Its distressing
Until now, main problem was slugs and snails and we tried removing these humanely when they appear after its been raining.. ‘wheeeeeeeh… you are going for long flight, to somewhere much better’.
Fencing or planting things rabbits dont like – there are a few – small carrots or you can plant alternative snacking treats they like.. Clover and Plantain among your flowers and vegetables but most likely even thou you might have a lawn full of this they hop by to your vegetable plot.
Perhaps the best answer is go on holiday – anything that is left when you get back, is a bonus.
