Rabbit danger - what's at risk

[Paulottie]

Hi slow-worm and welcome to the vine.

oh all those poor bunnies! you might just injure some and give them a slow painful death.but at the same time im all for killing an animal if youre going to eat it.I couldnt kill one,if i could i wouldnt be veggie lol.

My cat presented me with a baby rabbit this morning. He put it next to his dinner bowl after he'd given up playing with it, so I think he wanted it skinned cooked and cut into bite sized pieces.
I've seen a few new holes in the garden, but no damage to my lettuces yet.

I need to train him to guard the perimeter of the vegetable patch now.

I have just found that a rabbit (presumably unless you have any other ideas?) has eaten all the tops off my carrots. I am rather upset as they were looking particularly good.

Thats a shame Ruth - but - welcome to the Vine! We are good at commiserating with each other here.

Leave them - but maybe netted! - they should re-sprout. Did you ever do the old trick as a kid of putting a chopped off carrot top in a sacuer of water? You get a whole new lot of carrot foliage.

Second thoughts - are you sure it's not slugs? A slug ate some of mine in a pot this year. The new row sown in the garden is netted and pelletted.

Looks like my peas are the latest to succumb to the appetite of Bugs and his mates! Little bl**ders!

I'll hopefully soon be fencing myself in, but during a little search for "repellants" noticed this stuff:

Has anyone ever tried it, and if so, did it work? Looks fairly harmless for the plants (see datasheet).
