To Want Every Bunny In The County To Die A HORRIBLE Death?

[brickingit]

I've spent every spare minute since before Easter turning our builders' dump garden into a veg patch. Now the local bastard chav bunnies have eaten everything except the leaves off the potatoes.

I want them all to die horribly & slowly, in spite of DDs' protestations: AIBU?

PS. If anyone's local bunnies have got Mixy, please catch some, box them up & send them to Chepstow.

Ferrets are fantastic..
I used to see a woman who took two ferrets out for a walk on leads..

Always made us laugh when they wouldn't walk back and she'd be dragging them up the road and always ended up carrying them.

I've had rats as pets and they are fab. So affectionate and so clever, I miss my spud :(

Rabbits in the wrong place are a PITA. If we had that problem I'd be following lifeisa4letterword's lead and investing in a gun. Ds's friend has one for a similar purpose - although they're farmers.

Rabbits are cute, but they're vermin.

I like Gentle's ferret suggestion. A couple of Burmese would also be good, but only if you're planning on getting a couple of felines anyway and you don't mind decapitated bunnies being left in your bed. And they're expensive - more so than rabbit proof fencing.

rabbits are really tasty

Fancy setting up some kind of fox-transport evacuation service? I'm sure they could do with a nice holiday in the countryside. Just give me a mo to lock up the hens.

Ok, so, after 1000 years, rabbits may have a home here. That doesn't mean they belong, or shouldn't be controlled. There are very few predators here in the uk, and the environment is very lush and green. One female rabbit could potentially be responsible for 800 decendents in one year. There is basically an unlimited food supply. When myxomatosis was introduced here, it killed 99% of the uks rabbits. They are so prolific, that, despite myxomatosis, their numbers are sky high again. They need to be controlled. Yes they are cute, but they also do untold damage.

Feel your pain.Have a veg garden myself.I felt sorry for a little buggers when they came in the winter and ate all the primroses(poor little rabbits,had nothing to eat).I lost it when they chewed a climbing rose given to me by my late neighbour and spat it out. We had myxi 2 years ago,not a sight of rabbit since.I don't regret it.
They are a pest in the veg garden,sometimes I think"why do I bother?"so many pests,if not rabbits then slugs and so on and so on...Never ending battle.

rabbit proofing a garden sounds so simple - but not if you live in the sticks with very large boundaries none of them the nice rectangular shapes you get in town gardens.

Many neighbours have tried rabbit proofing their garden and have told us not to bother the blighters still get in.

pathetic

culturemulcher You're welcome to try. But I think you'd need to be a pretty hard-line Tory gardener to try forcing the comfortably unemployed foxes of South London back into gainful work eating bunnies in the countryside
