A Way To Deter Rabbits From Your Garden Flowers




Yes, this is a video showing our 'bugs' bunny. This must be an off-spring of Bugs senior, a rabbit who lived under our gazebo last gardening season...but who can tell?
As I believe in dealing with my garden critters the 'friendly, humane' way, Jim and I discovered that Bugs Jr. enjoyed Cheerios, the 5 grain Cheerios, if you please. Every day Bugs comes out from under the back gazebo and waits in a certain spot. At first, Bugs was a little jumpy and dashed away if you came too close. After a few days of repeat feeding, Bugs now sits patiently and quite calmly just waiting for us to pour out the Cheerios. Either strewn on the grass or on a plate, within the hour the cereal snack is gone.
This has most definitely helped in curbing the attack on my plants and it is quite enjoyable watching Bugs stuff his/her cheeks full. Hope you enjoy the short video and why not check out my YouTube Channel.
