I have wild rabbits, chipmunks and squirrels in my yard which I enjoy watching. The cats kill the baby rabbits and other small animals, and use my gardens for a catbox. I don’t want to lose all by deterring the cats.

We have a fenced yard. Spring is around the corner. Those rabbits or similar creatures love digging holes along the fence inside the yard. Since the snow is still melting and it is pretty muddy back there, I havent got a chance to check out what exactly the holes for. I assume they are making their offsprings, which is even worse. I need help to get rid of them. Especially, I plan to have a garden in the backyard this summer. Thanks.

My mom bought deer off (which also specifically said it works on rabbits) stuff at a farm and feed store, it works some of the time. A friend at work told her to try some herbs, but couldn’t remember the specific name.

There is this family of rabbits, I think they live in this empty lot next to my and they come in my yard and eat all my plant leaves and bulbs. But they seem like they are domesticated because they come out in the day and they aren’t really affraid of humans. I love to work in the garden so I want something that will still be safe for me to “be in.” Please help I want them out of here.

I have a lot of veggies left over from a party, and I was wondering if I should leave some for the rabbits and deer. There are small carrots (that are oddly sweet), red pepper slices, cucumber slices, and raw broccoli. Should I leave them out for the rabbits and deer? We recently had extremely warm weather (60 degrees outside right now and the 4 feet of snow we had a few days ago is gone now). Our raspberry and current berry bushes. The birds right now are chirping like crazy. So should I leave the food out for the rabbits and deer or is it a bad idea? Will it take them several days to find it or no?
