Default Ever seen a rabbit do this?

Actually that is an excellent suggestion. They are high current but very low
D.C. voltage and the existing fence could be charged. You might feel a good
"tingle" but a small animal would get the stew knocked out of him. Probably
not lethal but he would remember not to scale *that* fence again looking for
a free meal!

You might get a low-voltage electric fence. Many pet supply stores have
them. They are inexpensive and work very well.

So there I was, thinking I was in good shape with my new fence around the
garden. It's 6' tall and graduated mesh starting small at the bottom and
getting bigger as it goes up. I looked in the garden and saw a rabbit
which had me wondering how in the heck it got in. I watched a while, and
it went to the fence, stood on it's hind legs and put it's front legs on
the wire. The rabbit then proceeded to climb about a foot and a half or
so higher and exit through the mesh where it was larger. I honestly had
never seen or heard of a rabbit climbing a fence, and it took me totally
by surprise.
Has anyone else seen this happen?

Who sadly is planning to either trap and re-locate the rabbits, or if
worse goes to worse will give them lead poisoning. I really don't want to
do that. When I was younger it didn't bother me, but now I just don't
want to kill anything.
