We have a yard that is about 1/2 acre. At the end of our yard are trees. In the evening we sometimes see rabbits down there. What can we do to draw them further up into our yard? We love rabbits! :)
Thanks! :)

they'll probably not, rabbits are very shy creatures unless u raise it frm a baby. Wild one's i doubt.
Maybe u can try to lure them by using carrots. and then watch em from a distance. those large ears are very sensitive make the slightest noise and they r gone.
I have a pet rabbit, but it grew with me so its close to me.

we have rabbits and other wildlife galore...if you trim some tree branches and make a brush pile a small distance from the trees closer to your house the rabbits will find it and use it to have babies in and for shelter....also plant some vegetation close to the brush pile that rabbits will eat and give them a source of water
we have a lagoon that several rabbits live in...we just started a brush pile that is going to be burned on the garden spot next spring but in the mean time once the rabbits find the brush pile they will take up residence there...it has happened the last 2 yrs...we just make sure there are no babies in it before we move it to burn
my mom accidently burned some baby rabbits last yr in her brush pile...she didnt know they were there..the adults ran out then she heard the babies crying...said she wont forget that sound as long as she lives....now the moves the pile before she burns it
alot of times all you need is a brush pile close to where the rabbits are and you will be all set

Rabbits will eat apples as well.
Take some out by them then place some closer and closer.
In time they will be right at the house.

Plant a vegetable garden closer to your house (like right outside a large window where you can watch them without scaring them), but don't expect the bunnies to share it with you! Don't use any chemicals in that area. Keep dogs and cats away.

Just plant some strawberry plants up by the house... I work for a berry farm, and all my plant customers call me to ask how to get rabbits AWAY from their strawberry plants....rabbits love ruffage. :)

put treats out for them. when you eat fresh fruit or vegetables then you can put the left overs out. or you can go to the pet store and get alfalfa hey (this is a favorite for rabbits). just don't put any cabbage out. it is bad for them. the hay is too if they have too much so be careful.

They are probably eating weeds. Try planting something they like, such as beans or lettuce, near your house. And if you can, kill the weeds where they are feeding (they love clover!).

Provide them with some good munchies close to your house, they will eventually come closer, just don't scare them away.

Plant leaf lettuce and other leafy veggies close to your house.
