I need help really fast!?
Question:I just got done planting my flowers yesterday and when i got up this morning a rabbit had eaten all the tops off the flowers not all of them but only certain ones. I do have a fence around it but it not huge . but i need to get some answers on what to do. How do I get rid of them for good.
Answers:
I think that there are different spices that you can sprinkle around the plants that rabbits don't like. I used cayenne pepper on a house plant to keep my dog and cat out of them. (Not a lot! just a little mixed with water in a spray bottle. I'd spray they and they'd stay away. I only had to do it a couple of times!)
Good Luck!
Sorry.. but unless you do want to put up a fence there is not much you can do.
Some people will kill the rabbits.. but I could never bring myself to do that.
I suggest a new type of plant if you don't want to put up a fence.
Sorry! :-/
build a bigger fence that's the best thing to do to get rid of them.
sounds crazy, but they have repellent for that. At my local pet store, they have some stuff that is supposed to tell the rabbit a fox or another animal of that sort has claimed the area. It scares the little nibblers into running off before they can munch away on your plants.
I don't know if the stuff works or if its a bunch of nonsense, but its worth a try to look into.
The mega-organic, eco-friendly way is to plant a border of marigolds around the garden. The rabbits will not cross the border of marigolds.
Other solutions: (1) live trapping - - drawback because rabbits breed like, well, rabbits you may be catching them forever. And what do you do with the ones you catch? Dump them in someone else's yard? Upset the eco-balance someplace else?
(2) Kill them. Poison, traps, guns, etc. PETA will be sending representatives to visit you and picket you house.
I love gardening, click on your question, I hope I could be a helping to you. It ended up the other way around. I didn't know they will do that. I got rabbits in my yard also, but didn't have that problem yet. Maybe I got a cat and dogs that is a helping to me. I will have to chasing the rabbits off if they start tare up my garden. I feed them though because I also love animals.
OK This might be a help to you. I just went out to check on my garden. Everything seemed to be OK-for now. I think maybe I support all my plants with sticks. One of my pear trees got brown down by one of the storms. I cut it down and it grew back as a V shape. The bottom of the tree is growing wild limps(branches). I cut all off and trim all the leaves and cut the very top part off and use its' branches as the sticks to my garden. Because the pear branch’s sticks are very strong, and have a lot of long thorns around them, they are support all my plants; I don't think any animal would like to border to my plants much.
I am also feed all the animals in my house and my yard well. My dogs and cat are happy with me, they are good workers that don't let anything come too close to the house. I am fence in and protect, but the small animals such as rabbits and squires do come in. I got a place at the end of my yard that I cut up left over fruits and vegetable throw across my fence to it. I think the rabbits and squires came in to get some bird seeds on the ground. Maybe you can try those sticks from the tree branches. Good luck like your name with your flowers. Thank you for asking. Now I will keep my eyes on the rabbits. I don’t want to end up having rabbits problem. I would be upset too.
try human hair, get it at a beauty salon, it does work, sprinkle it around the border of the flower bed and plants
