I'll bring our male boxer over to play with your pup. Ares will teach him how to dig up said nest remove the rabbits :) He took out a whole family here once....we didn't realize it until we saw a larger rabbit running around. She was so scared, she broke the bottom off one of the slats in our fence as she tried to sqeeze through running away. The babies tasted good he said :o

 

They shouldn't bother anything. You'll know in springtime what plants they like to eat though. They ate up several of the ones in our back yard...but I didn't care as they usually grew back in a few weeks.

 

Do watch for piles of rabbit crap....The main reason we remove any nests is because Ares also like to eat it :(:eek:

 

Otherwise, enjoy the show. Our kids love watching them. We have a few big ones around the yard now.

Just enjoy living with nature.

 

Eat one occasionally if they become too numerous or get a cat or dog.

 

Pin a few of 'em down and dress them up for Easter. Tie them to a stake with some twine so they can't run and hide. Wake kids up for the egg hunt. Profit.

 

Catch one and pierce it's ear with your keychain. Carry it around for that extra good luck all while keeping the Peta people happy. I suggest baggy pants and a larger keyhook for the home.

 

Buy live animal trap, tape, stapler, various crafts, ie; pipe cleaners, construction paper, duct tape, etc, and a case of beer. Catch said rabbits and dress them up like various Pokeman. Release. Profit.

 

Really, the possiblities are endless. Or, just enjoy going out in the evening and watching the little bastards frolic. :D

 

Oh, and other animals eating their poo shouldn't hurt them. It's just undigested fiber for the most part. Rabbits will often eat their own poo to further digest it since they're not natural ruminates.
