I am now at war with these cute little critters. They have devoured my cucumber plants, watermelon, spinach, and yes..the cliche carrots too!!!!! How do I keep these little buggars out of my garden without building an electric fence?

Thanks for the input!

Awwww! They'll have rabbit-sized mouths when they grow up.

LOL! We're almost done fencing in the yard, then hubby said I could go get a dog. I'm thinking

Go to your local green house and buy some fox urine. It really smells awful, but it also keeps out cats that like to dig in gardens.

Brilliant! We have a new greenhouse in town, so I'll check into it.

I've heard that a few squirts of dog urine, in strategic areas, will keep various varmints at bay. Or, you could buy them all bus tickets to my place... apparently, it's a well-known resort in Rabbit Society. :O)

cheap way (keeps deer out too) get some old CD's and tie them up to a tree with a string so they can dangle and move around. The light from surrounding lights will bounce off of them and the movement will make the animals think there is someone over there, thus running off. :)

A shotgun works very effectively.
