Hi All,

I went out in the dark with a flash light to water my
garden. Found the cutest little wabbit (Elmer Fudd speak
for "rabbit") about the size of a baseball taking a nap
in my zukes. He got a bath but good and now resides in
other parts of my yard. Though he was a rat at first.

Are rabbits something to worry about? If so, how would
you rid your garden of them?

Many thanks,

Rabbits can become your worst nightmare if they reach large numbers,

Yep. I've got huge numbers of the filthy wee brutes. I'm suffering
from a Jack Russell deficiency ATM.

A vigliant Kelpie will severely discourage them - if you call being
eaten disouraging.

Jack Russells are goo too. They play tug of war and don't let up till
they get an end each. Not good for the live bunny though.

A waist height wire mesh fence will keep them out,
they are not very smart and they don't jump the high bar but try to get
through. Thank your stars you don't have roos.

Roos are probably better than deer though. We are now seeing deer
appearing at the back of our farm.
