How to recognize the signs of rabbits in your area?

Rabbits have a great number of natural predators and they may be difficult to actively observe. However, it’s not uncommon to see rabbits in broad daylight when they’re in an unthreatening environment and some gardens are simply overrun with rabbits. In addition to observing damage on plants you may see rabbit droppings. Rabbit pellets are about the same size and shape as a pea. They may appear scattered or in small piles.

How to recognize rabbit damage on plants.

Carefully observe the leaves and stalks that have been left behind. Quite often rabbits will nibble plants down to the ground. Because of a rabbits’ sharp front teeth, the leaves that are left will appear cleanly cut as though they were trimmed with scissors. Compare this to the deer damage. Deer tear at leaves, leaving ragged edges. 

How to recognize rabbit damage on trees and shrubs.

In the winter, with the absence of tender, new growth, rabbits are more likely to gnaw on trees, twigs and shrubs. The bark of young trees are particularly susceptible to rabbit damage. As trees mature and the bark thickens, the trees become less desirable. Rabbits may eat the bark on trees from the ground up to around 20”. They may gnaw the bark in patches or even completely girdle the tree.

Rabbit damage on twigs and shrubs appear as clean cuts at a 45° angle. If the damage is above two feet from the ground, it is more likely from a deer.

• Add barrier fencing to protect plants.
  Add collars around the trunk of a young tree to prevent rabbit damage and add a fence around vegetable gardens. Fences must be anywhere from 2-3 feet above the ground and be buried to a depth of six inches underground. In areas where it snows, consideration has to be given to allow for extra height to a fence. Electric fencing is another option. Fencing needs to be strong and regularly checked for damage and be quite costly. In addition, fencing is not always an option from an aesthetic view.
• Trap and relocate.
  Check with local ordinances on trapping guidelines for your area. Trapping can be time consuming and costly.
