Rabbits! Rabbits! Get yer free rabbits!
We are being overrun with rabbits this summer. If my husband hadn’t scored 100 feet of chicken wire before it sold out everywhere this spring, I wouldn’t have any annual flowers left. The other night I looked out and counted 6 in the backyard at the same time—4 adults, 1 teenager and a baby.
The youngsters always have to taste everything, so many of my perennials have been chewed or “pruned”. And this bunch seems immune to Liquid Fence. Maybe they’ve developed a taste for it!
They aren’t scared of me at all either. I spotted 4 in the backyard again the other day and when I went outside to give them the what-for, they just started at me. And they don’t seem phased by the neighbors’ cats either, but perhaps they’ve figured out those cats are tethered to leashes and pose no threat.
If I have at least 6 now, so because they explode in numbers exponentially like an earthquake, I should have 500 million by August.
