I thought it was so strange that they had build that very long fence. I think that was in Australia, but the rabbit problem is probably the same. There is a Norwegian saying : "Too much and too little spoils everything" It is sad that there are too much of those cute animals!Marit Johannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04101770710791623527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067146400874135525.post-46923158718504996212022-01-22T15:40:41.472+13:002022-01-22T15:40:41.472+13:00Good form of protein and they can have babies ever...Good form of protein and they can have babies every 35 days or so:)Far Side of Fiftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07995757632158408442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067146400874135525.post-82199700493303985672022-01-22T13:28:00.569+13:002022-01-22T13:28:00.569+13:00When we had our 5 acre property in the Far North (...When we had our 5 acre property in the Far North (north of Awanui) the rabbits had not arrived over the Mangamuka's then one spring we saw a couple of cute bunnies on our lawn. It did not take long for our trees and my potting shed to all be undermined. From then on rabbit was often on the menu.Susan Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14400003572211042194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067146400874135525.post-67305535403945696082022-01-22T13:22:24.695+13:002022-01-22T13:22:24.695+13:00I agree, Margaret, they are cute little creatures,...I agree, Margaret, they are cute little creatures, one at a time, in a cage. We don't any around here but there were plenty on the old farm. Hunters who asked permission to shoot ducks were always refused but I'd tell them they were welcome to come and thin out the rabbits, possums and turkeys.
