You could try these plants, they have been listed as rabbit proof. Busy Lizzies, Lantanas, Marigolds and Wax Begonias.
Watership Down:. You've read the book, you've seen the film, why not eat the pie?
euphorbia oblongata and rather surprisingly cornflowers have all grown un-nibbled in my garden this year, so far, Euphorbia is pretty poisonous so I guess that explains that one. I agree with Chrissie that they seem to prefer things that don't have a strong scent, given a choice, and they also don't like hairy leaves (such as oriental poppies) but they will eat more or less anything if there are too many of them. I try to grow perennials on the whole, with plenty of protection when young to get them through the tender edible stage.
If you have a nice patch of short mown grass, preferably in dappled shade with a bit of 'cover' near by (and if the population isn't huge), they seem to eat the grass for preference
