Default Natural way to keep rabbits out ?


Wild European rabbits are Australia's worst animal pest, causing
hundreds of million$ of damage, both to crops and the natural
environment, as well as spreading disease.


Australia is a little different as it's an example of what happens

when
alien species are introduced into a new landscape where they never
belonged. Whether that's marine toads in Hawaii or rabbits in

Australia.

I take that USA does not have myxomatosis or the calici virus? The
latter seems to be working quite well in Oz (so far) to the point that
in some districts the reduction of feral rabbits is having side effects
on native populations like raptors that have become dependent on them
over the years.
