Last year and the year before it was chipmunks. Before that, it was racoons. This year it is wabbits! I am jealous of anyone who has a garden that survives. The Uplands is run amok with rabbits. There must be a couple dozen around my home alone and I see them everywhere. They aren't living in my yard but they all seem to find their way here. Of course having a mullberry tree in the back yard of the neighboring abandoned house doesn't help.
I can't grow vegatibles at all. A good many flowers don't survive either. I have yet to see my spring crocus in bloom. The rabbits and the chipmunks keep eating them. Short of putting up barbed wire, electric fencing, and sniper guard tower, I really don't see how it can work.
Some kind neighbors have let their cats roam wild in the neighborhood. I am very greatful, because they probably single handedly reduced the chipmunk population. Unfortunately rabbits have taken their place and well.. the cats don't seem to have the moxie to take on the rabbits. Someone needs to remind these cats, who the predators are and how tasty rabbit can be.
Then there are the neighbors who go out of their way to feed these buggers.... there really is no need to feed them. They are doin just fine eating my flowers, thank you.
Does anyone enjoy cleaning and eating rabbits? I have no stomach for the cleaning part. Seriously tho, If you want rabbits to eat, I will get a 'humane' havahart
cage trap for them. You can have all you want. It probably is against city regulations to trap rabbits but I don't see Wallace & Gromit, of animal control out here. As long as it is all done cleanly and safely, who would complain.
