The bunny is a wild child recently on its own :D He’s an elusive fellow and, unlike the adults that have grown used to me, disappears quickly when approached.  I found him looking out from the peas that day, and got a pic by the beans before I shooed him back through the fence; this is the first time a rabbit had been seen in the garden.

Deer don’t bother the plants; the four foot 2x4” wire fence keeps them out. This little rabbit got through the 2x4” openings at a full run without shaking the fence! As an interim measure I bought a gallon of Liquid Fence to keep back any of these critters, and I bought some chicken wire to run over the existing fence to discourage the kits until they are hopefully too large to squeeze through. Unfortunately it’s cheaply manufactured netting and may not work well (I got what I paid for). 


Edit: The Liquid Fence has not deterred the bunny!

Thankfully this isn’t a woodchuck problem!
