Wild Rabbit

Hello! I'm new to this forum. I hope you can help!
I have a problem with rabbits & I want to grow vegetables. Are there any vegetables that I can grow that rabbits won't eat?

 

Only tinned ones I`m afraid.:D Seriously though, can`t you fence your veg area off with chicken wire? I look after a veg plot on a farm and find this prevention works well.:thumb:

 

Hello David,

Thank you for your response. I think I will have to fence it off. I do happen to have some chicken wire in my shed. I think that will be my project this week after work, subject to weather!!!!

Thank you again!!:gnthb:

 

BB. Make sure the wire extends at least 1' on the ground on the side the rabbits come from or the bxxxers will get under it.

A Black Widow catapult, air rifle, Tom cat or Lurcher also work well:D

 

If you've enough wire bury it about a foot deep and ideally in an L shape (base of the L outwards) so the bunnies can't get under it.

 

Buy a shotgun.

 

Rabbits can jump 3ft high so you need 4ft wire (1ft in the ground) and then a trip wire at 3ft 6ins.

I have found an electric fence (net) is effective although only 50cm high, once they get a shock from the fence they don't seem to try jumping over it. A 50metre fence would cost around £100.

 

I would also go with the above coupled with shooting.
