I have found that rabbits will eat small oriental poppies to the point of destruction in the winter. For the last three or four years I have covered the young plants with poultry wire which keeps the rabbits from eating them.

I also use poultry netting all the way around my garden to keep rabbits out.
This is a 50/50 deal
