Coffee grounds don’t work. My rabbit eats it. I think it is because I sprinkled coffee grounds around the plants they were nibbling on. The caffein goes into the plants, and now the rabbit goes directly for the coffee due to the addiction.

My neighborhood has been overrun with rabbits. We have three in the backyard and they have become so tame that they don’t move an inch when we go outside. My 2 year old can even go up to them. I loved this post. I have been laughing so hard because I though that I was the only one. This is my first year with rabbits in Texas. I’ve gone and done the worst though. I feed them carrots. But it does keep them off my plants except my holly bushes which I was suprised that they would eat. They don’t touch anything else, not even my 20 rose bushes. The lawn on the other hand is looking pretty bad but fall is soon approaching and it will be going dormant. Keep posting. I’d love to read more of your trials.

As I mentioned before I have a small animal farm and a rabbitry. I encountered a new problem this week.As I was feeding the rabbits, I found a big black snake on top of my cages. Anyone have a suggestion to stop snakes from coming into my rabbitry.

Annie, that is so funny. Good help is hard to find! I have coffee around my broccoli. It is a good suggestion. Actually, we put a metal hardware fence around the bottom. Anna

Oh little Peter Cottontail! He is not kind to us home gardeners. I have a monstrous dog who lives in my (fenced) backyard with my garden. This dog’s one and only responsibility is to guard the garden. Last summer, he laid around and watched as the rabbits consumed my radishes. Sigh. It’s so hard to find good help these days.
Another idea- I’ve heard that coffee grounds work for keeping kitties out. They don’t like the smell. Might work for rabbits too. Worth a try, especially if you’re a coffee drinker anyway and need a way to reuse the grounds.

I had a bunny eat one of my favorite flowers was not very happy about it but I put garlic powder on it (as I do for all my plants to keep bugs away) and it stayed away. I haven’t had a problem since.

Also there is a eco-challenge on my blog right now that I think you would like.
