The rabbits have enjoyed all the pansies in my garden over the past week whilst I was away. They've munched away at all sorts of other stuff too, and I still see them in the garden during the daytime. One of my whippets caught one this morning - he didn't kill it - I had to do that - so that's one less to feed. The dog's howling like mad right now - he can see two on the lawn and wants to get out there. Trouble is that he'll make such a racket as soon as I open the back door to let him out that the rabbits will have made it to cover before he gets round the corner of the house to the part of the garden where they are at the moment.
Since the demise of my last semi-feral cat the rabbits have increased in numbers to a huge extent here, so if anyone's thinking of getting a JR terrier, I'd suggest a much better solution is to get a cat instead. A cat would be out in the garden at all hours, whereas the dogs aren't!

We had a resident weasel at last house (semi rural). He saw off a fair few!
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
There's an idea - a brace of ferrets!!!
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
I love rabbits so would never harm them. I am trying the chilli method see what happens.
