As predicted by many here I have had no success with planting snowdrop
bulbs, however I also have had no success in finding a source.

As it must be nearing the time of their availability has anyone any ideas,
they would need to be fairly local (North Staffordshire) or mail order.

Lastly I have a rabbit problem, are they partial so snowdrops?

TIA

Don't know about the rabbits but we don't seem to have problems with them.
Depending on space and money, it's worth getting two or three varieties
because while some of ours are now going over, other are only just flowering
and still more are in bud.

Can't help you with the Rabbits, but my local ASDA had snowdrops for sale.
Have you checked your local supermarket?

All our new "el cheapo" snow drops appear to be in flower, despite my
wife reading somewhere that our garden's environment is not a
suitable place to grow them :-)

I have 2 varieties of rabbit: I find giving lots of apple twigs, weeds and
space to explore brings them into flower very nicely. ;-)

As to snowdrops, they aren't usually a favorite rabbitfood but if there's a
large rabbit population and not a lot to eat, rabbits will eat pretty much
anything.

The only options are to invest in fencing, reduce the population by
shooting or trapping, or to invest in a dog to chase them off, or a cat to
eat them.

Not all cats will catch rabbits though, so the last is a bit of a gamble!

(Shooting rabbits should not be something to worry about. Practically the
entire life of a wild rabbit would constitute cruelty if inflicted
deliberately on a pet: shooting is very quick, and they breed like blazes.)
