I've got a rabbit in my yard who thinks I'm running a salad bar. I'm
borrowing a Havahart trap this evening. I know a couple of sure-fire

be
something tastier than my lettuce & broccoli leaves. Anyone got any
ideas?
I'd try a carrot, but I wonder if rabbits are tired of being
stereotyped
based on Bugs Bunny cartoons.


It's the carrot tops they like. There's nothing sure fire I know but
violence.


I have a rotator cuff injury that's wreaking havoc on my shooting skills.
So, at the moment, I'm stuck with the trap. :-)

I'm a vegetarian & have been for 30+ years, but my great-grampa ran a
rabbitry & when I was a kid I ate rabbit, both farm-raised, & hunted out
on the San Juans. So I would not be horrified to learn some gardener shot
a rabbit, if they at least didn't waste the meat afterward.

OK....well, I'm not sure I want to kill the bunny because I have this thing
about cute ears. But I still need to get it into the trap. Other than carrot
greens, got any suggestions? I just bought a 3 lb bag of organic carrots
yesterday. The last thing I need right now is to go buy another bunch of
carrots just for the greens. I can only eat so many carrot muffins, glazed
carrots, carrots in salad, carrot sticks.....
