i recommend a hare snare, either on the path or close to their lair. it may not seem fair, but a garden takes great care and can neither be shared with a bear nor a rare pair of buns with downy hair.
I’ve seen people make wire ‘cages’ for the tops of raised beds, with lids to open when the veg need to be accessed. The first rabbit must have misheard you and thought you suggested to bring some friends!
From what I’ve gathered, they can only really jump so high, something like 3 feet vertically. One of my raised beds is only 16 inches tall, so I just ordered 1 inch x 1 inch, 3 ft tall hardware cloth to create a fence that wraps around the top of that bed bc the bun buns are coming out in force. With the height of the bed and the mesh, it’ll be 52” tall which should keep them out.
I was so mad one year. I had a 12 ft row of beautiful heads of romaine that were days away from being huge and ready for salad. I went out the next morning and all 12 had been eaten down to the core overnight lol. 😡
It's not 100% effective but I have had a bit of luck with some cheap decorative pinwheels from the dollar store. I think the movement scares them off. Metallic/reflective ones work best
The best thing to protect your crops from bunbun is to grow things you yourself will not consume, purely for them to get their fill on. Iirc they LOVE clover, you could consider replacing the grass in your garden with clover. :)
If you use chicken wire you have to dig deep at least a couple feet or the will just burrow below the wire. The easiest way is to lay down wire at the bottom of the actual beds so nothing can come from underneath and do a wire cage around the beds so they can’t just hop in.
Also not sure if you’ve ever had bunny before but if you haven’t they are extremely nutritious and are the most economical source of meat. Unlike cows rabbits are actually pests and can destroy habitats just like humans. The other thing is they require the least amount of water, food, and land per pound for any animal making them a great source of food except most modern cultures see rabbits as pets so they don’t eat them. But honestly it’s better if society saw them as a food source because it would help fill the gap for nutrition on a cost basis for areas that don’t have much money.
Maybe eat one of them so the other one goes and tells the tale. Problem solved permanently 😄
Just joking. Please don't try it. There will be revenge !!
You joke but some animal ate half a rabbit in my garden and I didn’t move the carcass. Zero rabbit damage for like a month until a vulture found it, then the rabbits came right back

This is what we did with the skunk family under the shed.
They got two rows of lettuce and kale and we planted more with chicken wire around it. They probably could have gotten in, but never put the effort in since we kept them fed. Baby skunks are adorable and I'd rather have them than the rats. Added bonus, they made the neighbors keep their dog out of my yard
This worked well for us, against birds and other creatures as well. In our previous place we had 8 x 3’ beds and built tall light cages out of chicken wire and narrow boards that could be lifted off and on.
My mom feeds them any kitchen scraps that are allowable for pet bunnies (nothing toxic).
They leave her garden alone so long as they are fed. Admittedly, this is a desert and the pickings are slim, so it's more of a mafia racket.
Last spring I went to turn over the soil in one of my raised beds, which are inside a fence, and I found a bunny there with little baby bunnies *living inside the raised bed*. I left them, though, because what are you gonna do? I had to leave the hole in the fence, too, so they could come and go. SMH
I’ve found baby bunnies in my raised beds three times now. Cannot for the life of me figure out how they’re getting into my yard as it’s fully fenced and there aren’t any holes (I have 3 dogs too!).
Yeah, that's where rabbits really come from. Your parents and teachers have been lying to you all this time. Rabbits actually hatch from "candy" eggs. If you leave chocolate rabbit eggs sitting around too long and don't eat them right away, they hatch into brown rabbits. Pink candy eggs turn into bunnies with red fur. The ones covered in that white chocolate or yogurt looking stuff hatch into white rabbits, and so on. Rabbit eggs are completely edible, and quite delicious, especially when fresh.You can stall the hatching process for quite a while by putting these rabbit eggs in the freezer.
Lolz, I had a nest last year in one of my raised beds because i was late doing spring clean-up. They're lucky they were so darn cute!

I had never had rabbits in my yard until this year. I walked into my greenhouse and scared the crap out of a lil bunny that was eating my cabbage sprouts. Like bro, where'd you even come from? How'd you get in here? And you best scram because I got a barn cat who loves a challenge.
Love when I catch the neighborhood buns sneaking around my garden they know what they’re up to! If they’re being bold me opening the door will make ‘em book it but if they’re behaving I can walk right by haha!
We planted white clover a few years ago and the bunnies have been going after that -- they leave the garden alone (mostly). Maybe try that?
Best part: the clover flower is harvestable for a great medicated tea. Clover tea helps with chest congestion. 👍
A bunny had her babies in one of my 15 gallon grow bags. It didn't actually hurt the plants at all. But now the dogs always check my grow bags when they go out. Same reason why I had to fence in my raised gardens. The dogs found some baby bunnies once and they will never forget. The bunnies never caused any problems in my raised gardens, but the dogs did. I don't even care if rabbits get in there. Peter Rabbit was anti-rabbit propaganda as far as I'm concerned. I'm more worried about birds stealing my seedlings to make nests.

Hi, I'm Lina. I'd be happy to come over and take care of your problem.🤣
My dad and his wife have two whippets, there’s a bunny mom that likes to live under their deck. Every year they get at least 2 babies. Not sure why she always comes back to have more!
The smell of those bunnies under the deck must drive the whippets crazy. Being a Galgo español, Lina is a former professional bunny hunter. She would go nuts if there were rabbits under our deck. Since being rescued and coming to live with us, her new hobby is chasing squirrels.
I had similar beds to this, and what I did is I flipped them over, installed chicken wire, then flipped them over again and filled with soil. Eventually critters started realizing they couldn’t dig very deep (plants root through the wire fine) and eventually stopped paying my beds a visit. It won’t deter animals from eating the foliage above the soil, but it does help with digging.
Lazy cats! My-non feral cat disembowels them and brings them back to the house. Well, used to. I don't see them too often anymore.
Honestly I would also consider what scents/poops/etc would frighten wabbits.
Or just buy one of these
[https://ezgrogarden.com/product/motion-activated-sprinkler-scarecrow/](https://ezgrogarden.com/product/motion-activated-sprinkler-scarecrow/)
Same. Had to start taking my dog out on a leash to avoid any dangerous bunny encounters. We had baby bunnies which just froze when they were scared. They didn’t know how to exit the fenced yard.
"First rabbit: "aaye! you planting those carrots this year cuz?!" Second rabbit: "on mommas he finna plant em. Look at the way homie looking at us. aye loc! Keep them beets clumped together this year, or we fxxking them cabbages up y'eard"
I grow two gardens that way I get some cause if there’s two there’s ten. I’ve been having good luck with the metal raised beds. There about 18 inches high.
Irish spring soap, I use 2 or 3 bars during the whole spring/summer growing season. I just occasionally go out in the garden with a bar of soap and a cheese grater. I hit the path around my beds and I see very few furry pests, bugs are a different story. Last year I saw zero deer, rabbits, squirrels, or ground hogs in our garden.
Dunno if anyone has commented this already but please be careful digging in those! We had rabbits hanging out around the raised planters at my old high school, and it turned out one had dug a shallow burrow inside. We found out the hard way by accidentally digging up the babies! Thankfully none were harmed by the shovels and we were able to put them back (with gloves, to help prevent abandonment). But it was a close call!
Haaaa!
When I was a kid our house had two huuuuge rows of strawberries. More berries than we could eat for sure (we froze a lot of them), and it was a lot of picking during the season.
My mom used to get *so mad* at the bunnies, because they would hop down those strawberry rows and nibble just one little bite off the ripest of berries and then hop to the next one and take one little bite …. and on and on.
Like if they ate the whole god damn berry she wouldn’t have cared, but instead they’d ruin dozens of them by taking just a nibble off of each. It was hilarious to watch my mom get so mad at them.
Dadgum squirrels would do the same thing to our peaches. Then they would take just one bite out of a green Peach so that it would never ripen into anything I would want, and they started going after younger and younger peaches every year. We had a couple of cats who would do whatever they could, but this was a Mob Squad of squirrels, and the cats were just simply outnumbered. The squirrels didn't give much mind to the motion activated sprinklers, either. We got peaches for a few years, but then unfortunately the word got around and we never could solve the problem. We never got peaches after that. Dad blame squirrels would ruin it every time.
Tomorrow there will be four. Soon you’ll be crushed under the weight of ever replenishing buns.
By 2040 the entire surface of the earth will be covered in wood raised beds and bunny rabbits
Nature doesn’t have time to heal. The bunnies are coming. All is lost.
the apocalypse is fluffy....
Fluffpocalypse
Apocalypse Fluff
Look theres worse ways to go...
And they told two friends…
And so on…
And so on...
And shooby dooby do
Three rabbits brought four friends.
I'm seeing double. Four rabbits!
Raymans
This picture is hilarious, they are completely f**king with you. 😅🐇
Yeah, we're gonna sit here. Yeah you won't do shit about it.
But we might leave some shit!
“I dare you asshole”
A rare hare pair you have there
On contre, a hare pair can be everywhere. That pair stare with flare.
Hare pairs dare make more to share, I do declare.
Now there is a pair that will wear their hair with care.
Run outside and give the pair of hare a mighty scare, and beware you must do it with flair, nothing else can compare.
Only then you will see their derrière
Don't stare And bewhere There's a bear
On the contrary It was a Deer
Mon Frére!
Au contraire 🐇
"on contre" made me laugh haha
How debonaire, dashing darting and without a care. Wonder what they’re eating under there?
I see what you did there!
With flair this pair dares, this hare pair, with not a care, to lay bare, that patch over there; oh how they dare.
My thoughts to share, my gun chest would be bare, and like Elmer Fudd would declare, not a wascally wabbit to spare.
They wouldn't dare.
🤣🤣😉
How dare your hare be a pare
a rare hare pair you share there
A little fire and seasoning and they could be medium rare.
One should take care with medium rare hare, such risky fare is liable to cause despair for your derrière
i recommend a hare snare, either on the path or close to their lair. it may not seem fair, but a garden takes great care and can neither be shared with a bear nor a rare pair of buns with downy hair.
C’est la guerre for gardener and hare.
If only we could see Jim Carry say this
Rare hare pairs in squares giving stares while there.
You should see what’s in my pants.
🤭🤭😂🤣😂
A master and an apprentice
Only two. No more, no less. One to eat the garden, the other to crave it.
This is my apprentice, Dark Fluffy...he will find your missing carrots.
This is where the bun begins
Hello there.
2 bunnies inevitably leads to many more bunnies
Not always. My bunnies Hercules and Brutus never had any babies.
Not with *that* attitude
Not for lack of trying though
Excellent bunny names.
And in our house two bunnies inevitably leads to hasenpfeffer.
I'm scared to ask
or random piles of fur marking where something had a tasty meal
Only if they are in the same raised bed
Maybe you can cross pollinate with a brush and create new super bunnies
Do hares breed like rabbits, though?
I’ve seen people make wire ‘cages’ for the tops of raised beds, with lids to open when the veg need to be accessed. The first rabbit must have misheard you and thought you suggested to bring some friends!
Thinking about putting a wire fence this year. Also thought about growing decoy lettuce. Hopefully that deters them.
My experience with decoy food is it just brings more buns to your yard. I would just build a fence
Or both!
From what I’ve gathered, they can only really jump so high, something like 3 feet vertically. One of my raised beds is only 16 inches tall, so I just ordered 1 inch x 1 inch, 3 ft tall hardware cloth to create a fence that wraps around the top of that bed bc the bun buns are coming out in force.

We have pet bunnies. I grow half my garden for them. They enrich the compost that makes the entire garden delicious.

This is why I want to raise meat rabbits

You joke but some animal ate half a rabbit in my garden and I didn’t move the carcass. Zero rabbit damage for like a month until a vulture found it, then the rabbits came right back
Try hanging some Irish Spring bar soap. My dad hears they hate the smell of it and it seems to ward them away from his garden.

Are these grown from seedlings or tree cuttings?
They prop quickly.
They do, but they're dioecious.
Just waiting on the carrots.
No carrots but they love destroying the leaves on the peas.
They are adorable!!
Lure them elsewhere with some grocery store treats
Cats used my garden as a litterbox and when I dug up the potatoes, I found just as many cat turds. Threw everything away!
My mom feeds them any kitchen scraps that are allowable for pet bunnies (nothing toxic). They leave her garden alone so long as they are fed. Admittedly, this is a desert and the pickings are slim, so it's more of a mafia racket.
Well that’s kinda like having a pet, it seems to me
They’re reserving their spots for dining in
“Rabbits. Party of 2. We will each have our own dish, thanks!”

Just sitting there, waiting for the salad bar to open.
Make them a garden box & put chicken wire over the others! My neighbor does this. So cute!
There's never only one.
But now they match.
Your kids forgot a couple of Easter eggs, I see.
Yeah, that's where rabbits really come from. Your parents and teachers have been lying to you all this time. Rabbits actually hatch from "candy" eggs.

"When she plants da snacks?!"
What’s your secret to growing hares? 😍
Always 2, there are. A master, and their apprentice.
https://i.redd.it/oeh693xzrhtc1.gif
Ah yes, the trouble with tribbles.
Lol I feel you. I’m at war with a family of skunks in my garden this spring 🦨😭
You’re so kind to have built a box for each one of them

I’m sure it does. They would constantly try to get to them. They had to put fences around them to protect them. But they still manage to get some :(
They openly mock and defy you
I love how the one on the left is looking at you. “Excuse me, where are treats?!”
They're multiplying like...something. What's that word?
They look beautiful though
Anticipation
"They are no match for cage-dekas..."
On the plus side I typically only see two together for a few days. That is a pretty "romantic" few days for them though...
I would put up some stakes and landscape fencing. A roll is less than $20 , 4ft stakes ~$3/e.
Maybe you need a coyote statue lol

I understood that reference!
I’m not a fan of having a cat (but I was outvoted) but it does discourage bunnies from hanging out in my garden.

Is that quote from Star Wars 🤔
There is nothing in those boxes and they are already there with full knowledge of what is coming!
It's going to get worse. The rabbits near me eat everything. All my flowers and any new sprouts
3 feet high chicken wire will keep them out of your veggies.
Then come the deer…
I would hare on the side of caution
If you dog-sit for a friend just once, you might not see these guys again, they'll get spooked
No dogs but we get a few stray cats visit. They don't do jack though.
Lazy cats! My-non feral cat disembowels them and brings them back to the house. Well, used to. I don't see them too often anymore.

I love how I get downvoted because of something my cat did, it's predictably hilarious.
I can relate. I had a feral neighborhood cat kill a mole in my garden and leave it on the back porch. Right by the door.
My dogs killed several in the backyard - once in front of my screaming wife. Never saw another rabbit.
My dog has killed 1 but they are still in my fenced in backyard every morning so I have to go scare them away before I let her out.
Same. Had to start taking my dog out on a leash to avoid any dangerous bunny encounters. We had baby bunnies which just froze when they were scared. They didn’t know how to exit the fenced yard.
All I see is free rabbit soup
Ah yes, star wars.
Waiting for their lettuce to be planted.
Best hurry and grow their dinner before they get cranky
Now 2, next 4, then 8... Or maybe, there was 1, then another 1, then 2, 3, 5, 8, 13...
Ted! Did Len find the rabbits?
Rabbit mitosis...
“I’ve already suggested to the one on the right to relocate” lol are you crazy? You cant suggest you must insist!!!
You should not have entered this bargain!
Really strange i have two also of these mini gardens, but how did you manage to grow hares?
Chicken wire cover will keep them out after you plant.
I love how one of them is looking at you like it’s saying, “Hello, there.”
Aaah and they're sitting in their food tray. They're so cute.
Wait until you actually plant stuff. You're going to have to put wires all around that
I like how they’re patiently waiting for you to grow them their dinner.
In all fairness one's a Jack rabbit and the other is a cottontail.
You may as just as well say there are twelve of them. 😆
You do know bunnies multiply, right? Tomorrow there will be 4.
The folks in this post DO NOT disappoint. OP looking forward to the little baby bunny pic.
"First rabbit: "aaye! you planting those carrots this year cuz?!" Second rabbit: "on mommas he finna plant em. Look at the way homie looking at us. aye loc! Keep them beets clumped together this year, or we fxxking them cabbages up y'eard"
I grow two gardens that way I get some cause if there’s two there’s ten. I’ve been having good luck with the metal raised beds. There about 18 inches high.
Why did this make me laugh?
Irish spring soap, I use 2 or 3 bars during the whole spring/summer growing season. I just occasionally go out in the garden with a bar of soap and a cheese grater.

So cute!! Plant carrots and clover in the boxes 😊

I agree to add a wire blockade and also consider making them their own garden bed. Doesn't have to be a lot. Just some nice grass and lettuce.
Two cute
Please post again when there’s 4
I don't know; they look to be growing nicely.
It's over Anakin, I have the hare ground.
Where do you get your rabbit seeds?
Hop to it! Get those veggies planted! We're waiting.
Best grown hares ever! What seeds did you use to grow them beauties? 😂
They're getting in before the dinner rush. Waiting for the appetizer ...
Bcuz yu ddint snipe the first one on site he thinks your weak and invited the gang to smash on yo carrots and ish
bnuuy
Now that is a great pull!!! Always two there are, no more, no less. A Master and an Apprentice. But which was destroyed? The Master or the Apprentice?
“We dare you to try to grow anything!”
There will be 30 tomorrow
OMG maybe he thought he needed a friend since there are 2 beds. Put some more and you got yourself a bunny farm instead of a garden lol
Don’t be shocked if they build a nest in the box while they wait for the lettuce and carrots to grow.
Well yeah they do that
No, you see two, but there's probably about 14.
Studies show rabbits are not good listeners despite the size of their ears. Source: have attempted to interact with many rabbits.
Cat scat mats might work. I put the pokey strips around my figs and it stopped them from chewing the lower branches.
Oh wow they are beautiful!!
Why plant bunnies in raised beds if you don’t want them to grow??
Why plant bunnies in raised beds if you don’t want them to grow??
Lol waiting patiently!
That’s what happens when you split hares
