Sorry to hear about it. That is heartbreaking. I had to have my fence up before the garden was put in. We have a "free range" rabbit. She was our pet in the house and she decided last year to make under the deck her home. I planted a lettuce barrel for her that she munches on nightly and then it regrows. But for you I would not recommend that, one wild rabbit has lots of friends and I know they like to tell each other of the new "Mr. McGregors" that they have found. Good Luck!

Oh man, that is bad! Those bunnies are so cute you just want to pick them up and pet them and hug them and call them George and then you think about how they ate all your stuff and then you want to STRANGLE them.

I've hardly seen a bunny since February. There was a big construction project that made serious habitat changes and we saw ALOT more foxes and other predators around. Probably jsut one of those "population cycle" thingy's.

aww, that hurts! and I mean for lettuce and toms... with wabbits I have long standing agreement, my 2 cats established a while ago and I have bird netting around my beds veggie garden... soory bunns, not lettuce for you...

If you still intend to surround the garden with fencing, don't make the mistake my friend did. She put a cute 2-ft wooden fence around her new garden patch and... the rabbits dug under.

I told her to get some galvanized chicken wire taller than her fence, bend it into a right angle lengthwise, and staple the upright side to the wooden fence, and leave the lower part extending outward on the ground like an apron. Most animals try to dig under right where the vertical mesh touches the ground, never thinking to back up a foot or two to dig under the 'apron'.

It's a killer to see all your hard work chomped like that.
