The bunnies are back.

Where do they go all winter?

Anonymous, April 18, 2026 at 6:41 AM: In all honesty, they are invasive and have altered/limited family gardens. Is it wrong to propose culling their numbers?
DKH, April 18, 2026 at 4:12 PM: The coyotes do that for us.
Anonymous, April 19, 2026 at 9:20 PM: Send me some coyotes
IDC9, April 19, 2026 at 9:31 PM: Not necessarily. But I wouldn't go to that length without first taking steps to dissuade the rabbits from making meals out of gardens, such as using plant cages, spreading rabbit repplenents, or choosing plants that rabbits don't like.

Cathy, April 29, 2026 at 12:28 PM: I know some of us have greater issues with the bunny population but I have adopted mine in leuw of a dog…they love to eat the clover in my grass and otherwise I have begun to use plant cages to protect those tender shoots of Lupine they seem to relish! Mine are here all winter but the population changes as cats, raptors and raccoons feast on them! They bring me lots of joy over the antics of maturity and are always a delight when I catch them unexpectedly enjoying the garden I call home!
