Default Uncovered a rabbit nest iin my half-barrel planter

WTF are you talking about? Relax, I'm here trying to save the babies. How
about something a little more constructive...like maybe how to relocate that
multi-family colony under the shed.

There are rabbits everywhere here, and their recent choice of a nesting site
leads me to think they're running out of room here, which isn't good for
anyone - most especially them. I can't even count how many near-misses I've
had, running over all the young'uns with the mower the last few years. (I
always mow high for that reason.) And if I did shoot a couple of them
(adults, in case I needed to spell that out), I'd be doing dual favors
really. They're good eating, and they would certainly not go to waste. And
they'd also stop eating all of what few vegs I try to grow in my tiny garden
to offset rising food scarcity/costs. And maybe they'd stop nesting in
inappropriate places & abandoning their babies. To me there's nothing worse
than watching babies starve (unless it's running over them with a mower
shudder). And maybe with a few less around maybe they'd start to look
healthier, less mangy & emaciated as they do. If you thought I advocate
shooting rabbits just because I prefer not to have them around then you
assumed too much.
