Default Rabbits, rabbits everywhere

Garden being overrun with rabbits. Not long moved here and had problems
getting anything to establish due to wind. Took advice and have planted
beech, juniper, heather and holly.

Were growing away nicely and now holly all nipped off at base, same
with young beech. Heather been 'trimmed' back to about 2" high. Juniper
ok but I'd like a bit of variety.

Any ideas?

I wouldn't do this myself, as it is illegal. But within the Farming
Communiity there has for many years been a thriving trade in rabbits
suffering from "myxamotisis". You buy or catch one rabbit suffering
from that disease and release it amongst the healthy population on your
land. The result will soon be a lot of dead rabbits. Farmers have been
doing this for years, but as I said it is illegal. Something about the
intentional spreading of disease.

Don't reply to the address shown, it is a "spam trap".
