rabbits eating my fruit trees!!!!

ever d student · 2009-05-21 10:40:16

Hi. I live in the country and have 6 baby rabbits living under my garden shed. They have started eating my fruit trees and some young trees in my garden. What can I do to stop this happening? I like looking at the rabbits, just don't want them eating my garden.

put up some chicken wire around the trees.

( have the same problem with Hares) they will chew anything.

they even chewed through my network cable, and tv cable ( tv had 9volts through it. )

had the same problem with hares, chickwire does the trick, check any of the tress that are already damaged, I put cling film around them to protect where the bacrk has been eaten off. If they eat the full way round then your tree will die. They really like young trees, especially fruit trees so do these first
