What to do with invading rabbits

[clare]

We too have hundreds of bunnies many more than our 2 previous years here and our resident stoat is clearly not keeping up!We have the patch fenced off with a mesh floor and black weed matting on top with big gravel on top of that with raised beds in the middle and so far it is bunny free but we are starting to shoot them with an air rifle as they are creating a village of warrens around our land and as we have sandy soil I am scared one of the children will disappear on day down a rabbit hole!!So far the few we have got have been left in the neighbouring woods and have gone in the morning,I am hopeing Mr Fox is taking them instead of my chickens.I have never skinned/drawn and eaten them but do like the idea if someone showed me what to do, the throw in a pot with red wine sounds yummy but I would need to know I'd done it right in case I ate a bit I shouldn't........

Annpan: I love the idea of a rabbit tractor

On a slight aside , it's good to note that other people s cats drag in the bunnies as well, but can I ask, Our cat eats the heads and just brings in bunny trousers, does anyone elses cat do this ?

Just curious

My sisters cats eat mice, but always leave the head (just to proove they are doing their job) My cat is a bit greedier and only leaves the liver... which I inevitably trod on

I love the idea of rabbit trousers...lol....

Must say, I haven't seen any rabbits since then, I'd imagine they are still there but we haven't lost any crop to them this year thankfully. My hope is that they will be Mr Fox dinner over the winter, meaning my chooks are at low risk
