Thanks, Adina! I'm imagine the pups hanging around your place discourage some critters from visiting.. but I hope you get butterflies & birds! :-)

Jill, you are so right ! We have bunnies here, but the doggies are chasing them all over the field! I saw one once as big as Momma dog!LOL BTW, I love those little bunnies in your yard!

LOL... Those babies were definitely cute... you could probably have fit all three into one hand. They've been eating up my crocuses this year, but the clover will be out for them soon. If they eat clover and not all the goodies in my garden, then we can be friends. :-)

LOL! Will they stay in your yard? Is the mother there too?

Those babies were from last summer, I think. We have lots of rabbits in the yard. When I can walk once around the house and see more than 10 rabbits (our yard isn't that big), I know it's time to get out Grandpa's rabbit trap and relocate a few of them. :-)

I suppose it doesn't hurt them...

It's the best solution I've been able to find, since my garden can't support dozens of bunnies even if I were willing for them to eat every scrap in it. The trap itself doesn't hurt them, although I'm sure they're not thrilled at being relocated to a new territory. I promise, I take them to a nice location, with grass and cover and a little creek. :-)
