ᐅ Rabbits in and around the garden outdoors

It’s quite charming when rabbits nibble on flowers, but the flowers don’t appreciate it, and neither does the owner. If you want to give your rabbit plenty of space to roam, you should protect the flowers. The best way is to fence them off securely so the animal cannot get inside. Although many plants are rather toxic, rabbits still like to eat them. There are also special products available from specialist stores that can be sprayed on plants to deter rabbits and other animals from eating them. However, since these can be toxic, they are not suitable for everyone. Keeping a close eye on the rabbit is probably still the best option, especially if you don’t want to replace the plants every day, as they tend to disappear quite quickly.

Enclosing the flowers is a great idea. I’m going to suggest that to my grandmother right away. Her rabbits run around everywhere, and I’m surprised the flowers are still there at all. Are there fertilizers that are not harmful to animals? Even for cats, for example?

Oh, I didn’t realize that garden fertilizer could actually be harmful to animals. I really thought only herbicides or pest control products were dangerous. But I also like the idea of "locking in the flowers." Maybe one of those bird nettings could be enough if you cover the garden plants while the rabbits are outside? It might also be easier to handle than building fences. Just a thought.... 🙂
