Rabbits - help!

Gun? Terrier? Hire a fox?

What a nuisance. We had terrible problems years ago until the railway line that runs alongside our property was fenced off. The terriers and our cat were working full time.

We're rabbit free now, thank goodness.

Are they damaging any other parts of the garden or just the new border?

It is just the new bed. They do not seem to be actively nibbling the plants but are burying under them. One new orange blossom plant is hanging in the air with a tunnel underneath! - I keep filling in the hole to give it a base to grow on. Every day it is back.

Has anyone ever used these sprays that are supposed to deter them?

To be really effective netting to keep out rabbits needs to be buried with an L shape. The shorter arm of which should be on the side where they are coming from. Not always easy if it's a field. Good luck.

I have used a pepper spray on lettuces which worked, but it made me cough so much, even with mouth and nose covered, that I gave up.

I have just had a google of this and it said to try chilli pepper - I made a solution of it and sprayed it on the earth around where they have been digging - I await developments - watch this space!

It would be quite a major job to put more efficient netting all along the border of the field, so I am hoping this less energetic and costly solution might do the trick.

Thanks for all the ideas.

We have a springer spaniel we could hire out cheaply. No rabbit can out manoeuvre him but it is a bit gruesome when he finishes them off

The chilli seems to have worked - no rabbit holes this morning!

Something is eating my daffodils and my neighbour said it's rabbits. But I've got a couple of planters up on a wall, and those are being eaten as well. Can rabbits climb walls?
Any ideas what else would eat daffodils?

Roe deer eat daffodils. Could they reach your planter, henetha?

Also snails and slugs.

Squirrels ate all my emerging tulips in pots. I wondered what had happened but then saw the little blighter (we have two around) enjoying them. And squirrels can climb, they are very acrobatic.

Thank you, thatbags. There are deer in the nearby woods, so maybe. Or maybe it is the perishing slugs and snails.
Or squirrels, Jaima.
Whateveer it is, I wish they would stop.
