We have some rabbits eating some of the plants in our garden. any
good deternts?

we like the bunnies, and prefer them to be here, and eat somethign
besides our garden. it's not like there isnt 1000 other plants out
there for them

Get a dog - my dogs keep the animals, including the geese, away from
everything - the only had thing is that they eat the green tomato's
before they ripen.

Our horse works well in that department. His fence runs right up the
sides of the garden. Anything gets near "his territory", he behaves
like a guard dog - nothing stands a chance!


My horse doesn't care. We were riding in the pasture when we spooked a
rabbit and the stupid thing ran right into his leg. I thought he was
going to spook and I was going to go flying but, no, he never even batted
an eye. He likes to go over and look at the skunks that wander through
the pasture occasionally, too. He's VERY friendly.


Oh, Romeo is people and dog friendly - he just loves to play - if he sees
something running or hopping thru his pasture (or near it), the chase
begins. He's really just playing - but he can do some damage! Really
effective at controlling garden "pests". The other 9 horses don't care or
pay the smaller creatures any mind.
