If you ask me to say the first thing that comes to mind upon seeing this baby bunny picture, I'd say "cute but voracious." He (or she) and siblings are going 'round and 'round with me at the moment because every time I add new plants to my front flower bed, they mow the new, tender vegetation to the ground. They seem especially fond of hollyhocks & cosmos both of which I've tried twice to plant! If only they saw bindweed as delectable, we could form a happy alliance. I have had baby bunnies several years in a row but none have been as destructive as this bunch. I'm finally seeing the "Peter Cottontail" story from the other angle. Never did before. I always felt sorry for the bunnies. I guess I still do since I'm planning to work around them instead of against them. The sad fact of life is, its probably only a matter of time anyway until the owls or neighbors cats put an end to it all. In the meantime, I'm off to research what rabbits won't eat because I'm getting a pretty good idea of what they do like.
I have the same problem.
We have gobs of bunnies around.
Last year I planted 120 seedling trees & they chewed off most of them. We have resorted to drastic measures & they arn't as bad for the time beeing.

I'm sure that was frustrating Stacey. I would hate to think of them eating everything I planted. I'm not going to ask what the drastic measures are tho!!
