Can anyone suggest some rabbit proof plants - the bunnies in my garden have even eaten my small holly bush!! They just love pruning my skimmia, my choisya doesn't stand a chance and almost every one of my Thuja Plicata furs have been nibbled and the roots dug. All I seem to do is spend my time making little wire cages for the plants. Before we moved permanently to the house I thought they were lovely "fluffy wuffy bunnies" but now I think they little indeterminate parentage bunnies!
Thanks in advance
Suey
Did anyone else read the title as "Rabbit proof PANTS"?
Sounds like you need something well spikey round the outside of your beds. Suggestions would include pyracantha, hawthorn, blackthorn many roses (especially rugosa) ,and berberis. All these can be maintained as low hedges usin secateurs and THICK gloves.
Dorset miners used to call them "underground mutton".
The RHS have a list :

How about thinking of them as Terrine de Lapin!
I have three dogs, a bitza pedigree heinz 33 varieties, a Border Collie and a Rhodesian Ridgeback - the bunnies just escape through the fence and ignore them! As for a gun, I think my husband has more chance of shooting himself through the foot!!
Well as you can imagine we have plenty of dog hair!!! Will try that...!
ps If I were a rabbit I would not argue with a Ridgeback, cos they like chasing anything small and fluffy....!
