No guns allowed with STWNFI around. I do have a cage trap but it catches
more black birds than rabbits. I have a sneaky feeling its actually the same
stupid Black bird that keeps getting caught!

Any suggestions of a good bait?

I use Carrots, Blackbirds are not interested in them, so have never
caught one. Cut the carrot into good sized pieces, place a couple
outside the trap gradually leading towards it, then one just inside and
finally one where a rabbit on it, or reaching for it, will spring the
trap. One good sized carrot should be enough for twice.

"A" rabbit, you never have "a" rabbit.

Well how are you going to present STWNFI with a nice bouquet of roses
and favorite chocolate if STWNFI won't let you get rid of said
rabbit.

Rabbits don't like blood and bone meal but that is only temporary.

If you want to get rid of them permanently there are a number of tactics
that do work.

Use the sort of poison used in agriculture for control of rabbits - it'd
be worth finding out what that poison is in your country. If it's
available in the UK, 1080 works.

1080 is a very foul poison but effective. Any other mammal taking the
bait will be history too.

If you can find the burrow another thing that works is to use an older
model lead petrol powered car exhaust where you shove a hose over the
exhaust pipe and shove the hose down the burrow and pack the exhaust
around with soil to prevent fume escape. Leave the engine running for a
good half hour or even more.

After you remove the exhaust hose, rip the burrow using a pick and keep
ripping it whenever you see sign of activity.

Another tactic is to get a Jack Russell or 3.

Mike one.

Apart from a carrot (as suggested) you need a good lurcher. I used to
have rabbits in my garden but my lurcher caught every one. I don't have
rabbits now.

May be a silly question but how do you know its rabbits. The reason I ask is
that I posted a thread about problems I am having with roses this year. I
assumed it was due to the bed being rather wet but I am now wondering if it
could be rabbits - we are inundated with them at the moment.

I know because I have seen the bloody thing chew through a stem then proceed
to eat the leaves, leaving most of the stem lying on the soil. I was on the
telephone at the time watching through the lounge window so couldn't scream
abuse. I don't suppose the rabbit understand abuse but it sometimes makes me
feel better...

You need a lurcher. Mine caught every one years ago and I haven't seen a
rabbit here since.
