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.
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!
