Pesky rabbit
« on: May 10, 2010, 21:03 »
All my plot is surrounded with corrugated dug in to 8 inches ,I have now got a very determined flufffy ***** that keeps burrowing in.
I dug down lower and stuck some wire in and still it comes back,this is the most determined bunny i have had offered to swap with a neighbour for her mole.

How do you all cope with the wildlife??

I'm not a wabbit expert, (fortunately), but is the idea when burying anti-rabbit fencing not to bend the bottom 6" or so of the fencing back on itself, so that when the critter tries to dig under the wire, it hits more wire.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

Our wire netting (where there is a major rabbit problem) is bent over just under ground level, and has a trench of stones about 4-5 ins deep both sides of the fence along the bottom too.

Keeps 'em out so far.

See them on other plots so it has been worth the effort  :D :D
