Rabbits

Rabbits aren’t fond of cucumbers, peppers, potatoes or tomatoes, but pretty much anything else is fair game and if they are abundant in your garden, you have a problem. Dogs and cats will slaughter rabbits mercilessly, but they breed like rabbits and will keep on coming (it’s also not very nice to keep finding rabbit legs and heads everywhere).

The best solution to a rabbit problem is a secure fence. I say secure because rabbits will dig under a fence if it isn’t properly built. You have to bend the bottom 6 inches of the fence at a right angle and bury it in a trench, so they can’t tunnel under it.
