Do rabbits eat the leaves of narcissi?
I'm silently threatening to have rabbit pie with my next door
neighbour's pet, which is left to run in the garden and keeps
burrowing under my fence, excavating my compost bin, and will surely
have a field day, literally, with my salad crops, carrots etc which I
intend growing in containers this year.
I have found a couple of pots of odd daff-type things, tops nibbled,
which probably explains why there have been no flowers on them this
year. Would a rabbit eat them?
What might a rabbit eat which would give it a bad tummy-ache and put
it off entering my garden?

Have you asked your neighbours to secure their side of the fence?
Rabbit fencing buried 6 inches down and 6 inches along (L Shaped) will do
it, they haven't the intelligence to move back to start digging.
Alternatively, borrow a Terrier. :-)

Lots of Lettuce will kill rabbits I was always told.

Puts me in mind of when my godson's wabbit went missing.

It was a *VERY LARGE* wabbit.

I found a hole - a very large hole, (eat yer heart out, Wookey Hole!)
beside the fence.

Looking over the hole, there was no sign of wabbit, just a row of small
cabbage plants.

Then, a small cabbage began growing in reverse...

Lots of Lettuce will kill rabbits I was always told.

Yes, but it is indeed *LOTS*.

I don't like beer in cooking, but David likes it so I do use it sometimes.
I am afraid you lost me when you got to fenugreek and chilli We don't do
hot/spicy.

times as much

I'm repeating my original question? The leaves of some daffs in pots
were nibbled down to about 3 inches from the soil. Would a rabbit
prefer my daffs to its own grass?

is this one of those things where the food causes a nutrient drain to
digest it, so if you eat it alone you die (you being the rabbit in
this case).

No, it's because it contains sedative and it was used as such in ancient
times.
