I have a friend who just lost an entire trellis of morning glories. Seems a rabbit is making him or herself at home in her yard. Are there any safe ways to repel rabbits without harming them?
I use a mixture of fresh chives that I grow and I cut up. I add to coffee grounds used. I read this on computer last year and tried it and not only did it keep away rabbits. It also worked on insects and snakes. Go figure.
You can also sprinkle cayenne pepper around the outside of your plot or around your plants. I use it regularly to discourage them "munching" in my garden.
Please, please do not harm the rabbits! All they are doing is trying to stay alive.
I've read that dried blood meal or human hair sprinkled around plants can deter rabbits from consuming. Fencing the area or putting vulnerable plants in hanging baskets is another option.
I just lost a little cottontail bunny last night that was rescued because it's mother had died. ( I have 19 years of experience keeping house rabbits, so my field of knowledge is pretty wide.) He was precious but only lived two weeks. I saved him from certain death from the prey animals in our rural community. I would do it all again to give him a chance.
