Gergwheel1647545492 Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 do not touch them and do not fuck with the nest at all, they won't hurt anything, and once they are old enough they will go along and frollick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTQ B4U Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 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 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 Otherwise, enjoy the show. Our kids love watching them. We have a few big ones around the yard now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putty Posted February 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 The Boxer we gave away ate the pellet piles. Tyson just looks at them at full attention, but lets em go about their business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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

SpaceGhost Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 My neighbor hunts them in our backyard all the time, he makes that stew that was posted above. I call him "Elmer FUD" as he is always hunting wabbit. Cool guy, just funny to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
