Got me a bunny!!

[faithwh]

Happy news all!

I managed to trap Peter Rabbit and relocate him about 10 km north of here. Dropped him/her off at a little grove of trees with a river, and nice farm land on all sides!

Good Riddance I say. The little rodent has chewed my stag horn sumac to the wood, all my weigelas down to about 6 inches, my purple sand cherry and rose of sharon are both about half the size they used to be. It had started on my euonymous bushes too. I sprayed Plant Skydd on all my plants, baited the trap every day for a week with fresh carrots and Viola!!

Now I just wait for the spring crop of bunnies I'm sure

Well done faith and welcome to the forum!

You were brave catching a bunny - I couldnt even catch my pet rabbit!

You've done a lovely thing by "moving" the bunny elsewhere.

Hi, faith. Just come onto the site. Hope you're still checking it. Got the same problem. Did you use the repellent to "persuade" the rabbit to look elsewhere for food and then set the trap? Or did you just bait it and hope it preffered carrots to plants? Desperately needing a solution. All the best

I'm glad you didn't hurt bunny. We all have our place in the Eco system.

Hmm! I work in a place with a lot of eager chefs. Bunny might end up as supper Hope that doesn't put you off replying

[cajary]

Nobody answered but I got the Bxxxxxd , anyway. Catapult (Black Widow) one shot and we ate it. Now I'm definitely going to bed!!

Mmmmmm rabbit stew, makes the mouth water.
Got me a Greyhound a couple of months ago, all the bunnies down here seem to have mixxi though!!!

Hi, mph. Yeah, I would have liked it stewed. Unfortunately our chefs prefer poncy food and we had it "fricaseed?".
If I get another one, I'll do it myself proper food!!
I worked in a food-processing factory for 4 yrs., so, fortunately, I can tell if animals are diseased

Hi Cajary,

I work as a chef in a Farm/Local produce shop, i'm hoping one of the butchers who has lamping friends will produce one for me, literally not physically that is.
My Greyhound Mags, love to chase them but myxi seems to be a big problem unfortunaly. But the day will come.

Hi, mph. Hope I didn't offend with the "poncy food" crack but it is
I live in the New Forest and by and large, the connies are free from it. (but you have to check)
Don't bother with the g-hound, get a "lurcher" they'll catch 'em

[whitedragon]

all you need is some copper wire and a car battery put it around your plants and when they nibble zap 12 volt shock wont kill them but they wont come back

[cajary]

Hi, Wd (again)
The layout of the place where I work doesn't allow for that. An area of 2 acres with no definate borders or boundarys. Ditches, banks and an open area to the front. Appreciate the advice but you can't protect the whole area. You have to catch the little bxxxxxxs in the open.

[whitedragon]

oh i see i thought it was like ur garden lol my bad

[cajary]

No, I don't get a problem with vermin in my garden. I've got a very active cat. If she can't kill something she sure as sugar warns it off.

[cajary]

Got another one. This time, with a 22 air rifle. Damn, I'm good
