Rabbits eating bark on berries
 

Over the winter, we had an attack of Rabbits eating bark off our
blackberries. Will it kill them? Should we do something to help them
recover?

Well, if they are lying there whimpering and clutching their bellies
and mouths, maybe sweating or vomiting, then it should be easy to load
them onto little stretchers made out of cornflake packets, and take them
to the vet.

If the rabbits are still running around as fast as fit rabbits do and
looking perky, you'll be needing some kind of restraints on the
stretchers.

Better round up a rabbit and take it to the vet just in case, esp. if you
have kids. Wouldn't want to peeve the Easter Bunny, you know. Might end
up finding some Easter eggs ... from last year.

Around here killing either blackberries or rabbits is almost impossible.

The rabbits have likely done in many of this year's fruiting canes. I had this
happen to my raspberries one winter. (Wiped out the summer crop.)

Lots of snow cover this year in many places = more rabbit damage to woody plants

blac berries are pretty much the tasty cousins of the other thorn
bushes we consider weeds they are quite prolific and hardy they
should come through alright in the winter you should wrap up to
the point that you think the r rabbits can't reach on their hind leggs
to keep them away in the future I've had the same happen to me and
they came threw alright
