As a child my sympathy was clearly on the side of Peter Rabbit. What, I wondered, made Farmer McGregor chase Peter out of his garden with his rake? How could a little rabbit be a threat? At the time I lived in a neighborhood with neither gardens nor rabbits. Now I live with a lovely yard and a bevy of wild rabbits.
Spring has come late this year, with frost the last two mornings. The daffodils in the photo just opened this week. But before another batch had a chance to shine, a “wascally wabbit” beat them to it and chewed the tops off many. Charlie once again put chicken wire everywhere he thought rabbits might still be sneaking in. So far it is working. It is also preventing the inevitable rabbit-Zoe showdown which wouldn’t end well.
This ceramic bunny will have to do. Maybe it will convince any intruders that this yard is already occupied!

We get squirrels in the garden, and they definitely eat bulbs. But the local rabbits tend to sensibly stay in the wild. Too many dogs in the gardens here, and a fair few predatory birds that would spot a rabbit on a lawn. Your ceramic one is nice, but I doubt it will fool the real ones. 😀
Best wishes, Pete.

Occasionally we see rabbits in our yard, but fortunately for them, not often. Our Benji is quite the hunter!

Glad to know you are back blogging again Betsy. I have missed your posts.🥰 The sparrows who used to visit our small garden no longer do.🥰

Your ceramic bunny looks to be the similar size to the ceramic owls my wife put out on our deck railing to try and scare off the crows. It’s an interesting science experiment.

Hope everything works put well. We don’t see rabbits here.

We plant clover in our yard, and it keeps the rabbits pretty happy. I also plant several kinds of flowers the rabbits don’t like so well. That’s worked pretty well so far. And then there’s our resident hawk, who has a way of keeping most of the rabbits at bay. LOL

Hi Elizabeth, we have a similar problem with birds which eat all the fruit off my trees. I tried netting the trees but that resulted in a few trapped birds. I gave up and now I let the birds have most of the fruit.
