garden over run with Rabbits

  • My garden is overrun with rabbits too - lol, but they are my pets. I use the thick green wired fencing around all my borders and veggie patches which can be moved when I need access, and blends in when the shrubs are in leaf. Otherwise I just leave my buns to it, they take care of the lawn and weeds.

    If you don't kill them they will only breed like rabbits.

    Proper fencing is the way to go, and I mean proper, strong mesh and with plenty of fence (at least two feet) buried under ground to discourage digging under the fences. Unfortunately this is likely to be a very expensive option. I've plenty of experience in dealing with rabbits, and can guarantee you, almost nothing will stop them getting in to a good source of food. Most people with a serious problem tend to opt to reduce the numbers of rabbits by one means or another. I favoured the ferret-dog-gun approach which worked quite well.
