Bunnies are cute! Let them live! Catch them and sell them at a garage sale to the kids in your neighborhood. Then you can get rid of the bunnies and turn a dime.

Funny you should ask your question since I live deep in the woods (really) and have rabbits coming up to the garden in front of my house and eating at two new holly bushes I planted not long ago, along with other vegetation. I have considered shooting them, but I have a neighbor who wishes I wouldn't, so . . .. I do have a creative solution, however, that, truly, I just stumbled upon. I have a Siberian Huskie among my other dogs, and every once in a while, one of those bunnies will climb under the fence, into the big back yard, and those bunnies never had any idea at just how fast a Siberian Huskie can run, AND TURN in any direction. We don't necessarily like her to eat wild rabbits, but then, we have all our dogs go to the vets regularly to check for worms, among other things, and she's not having any problem, and she's been having "wild rabbit" on her menu for two years now. As a matter of fact, my wife said she didn't eat her dog food this morning, and the first thought that came into my mind is that she got another one of those rabbits, and, as she typically will do, she won't eat her dog food. That saves a bit on our dog food bill (not really enough to amount to anything), but I know Siberian Huskies are not hard to get, even here in Texas, and so if you have a fenced in backyard, or have been tempted to do so, you can add a Siberian Huskie in there, and your problems will be solved, AND you'll reduce your dog food bill. Good luck with it. I know how bothersome those rabbits can be. And I love my Huskie. She's great. God Bless you.

Rabbits can dig so you need to dig a ditch around your property line and put in a chicken wire fence on the inside of your fence. Go up about one foot about the ground and go as deep as you feel you need it. I went 2 feet down and one foot above for mine. y mom went and bought a bunch of rabbit food and started to feed the rabbits and made things worse for her later when she stopped feeding them. I have no clue what made her feed them but when she did they stopped coming in the yard but more and more showed up over 15 years of doing that.

Feed them. Start giving them your fruit and veggie scraps and they won't have room to eat your grass (at least not much of it). Or, you get rent some live traps and trap them, take them out the country and let them go.

I have the same problem, and was thinking of putting a fake owl in the yard to see if that will help
