Great info!

How do you curtail rabbit damage in your garden?

1) It's not damage. It's an animal eating. Animals eat, too. If you don't want wildlife in your garden don't plant a (wildlife) garden. Plant fake tulips like my grandma did. Plants are not paintings or collector tchotchkes ("I just got Asclepias purpurascens, #7 in the milkweed series!").

2) Stop helicopter gardening. This is when we treat each plant as precious instead of players in an ecological system that ebbs and flows. Yes, spending $20 on a gallon-sized plant (stop doing that) and seeing it eaten the next day is frustrating, but this is nature. Nature is a good thing.

3) You need more plants. So many plants you can't tell if one is eaten. Or, you can celebrate when they are eaten because rabbits also feed hawks and foxes. So get more plants. Like in nature. Plants on top of each other, close, in layers, providing far more ecosystem services than plants marooned in an ocean of wood mulch. Let plants touch and cavort. It's hot.

4) Disturbance can be a good thing, especially in more natural landscapes. We don't want, and nature doesn't want, the same static space year after year. That's not helpful or resilient. So open up that Rent-a-Bison store you've always dreamed of.

5) When we scrape away an ecosystem, slap a housing subdivision on it, use lawn as wall-to-wall carpeting, then create a few comparatively small garden beds in that void, OF COURSE wildlife will come to that one little crumb of habitat. The answer is MORE nature, not less; this extends to so many other creatures that we label as pests.

Baby Carrots is indeed pregnant with at least 4, maybe up to 6 babies. I believe the person who dumped her knew she was pregnant.

To dump a pet is absolutely cruel. To dump a pregnant female is the lowest.

The bunny who was found as a dump in Chippewa Falls is seeing the vet today!

Yes, we know she was dumped because the neighbor saw her be put outside before the last cold snap. Thankfully, she survived the extreme cold without food and water!

She is being checked for pregnancy.
