Squirrels upstairs and rabbits downstairs! What's a good bait
for rabbits? I think they're quite cute and I don't want to kill them, but I can't allow them to inhabit my downstairs much longer. Also, they're good eatin', right? |

Sorry! That's what happens when you live with coyotes. Mom used to feed feral cats to keep the rodent population down on her farm. She figured if a cat made it past two years, it was *old*. -- I never worry about diets. The only carrots that interest me are the number of carats in a diamond. Mae West |

I think the association between rabbits and carrots might be bogus. According to Wikipedia, rabbits eat foliage, so I baited a rat trap with a small Brussels sprout, with the leaves spread out like a little rose. There's two places where they go in and out of the garage, and I placed it at the one which is easier for me to access. I also bought a couple of the sonic repellent devices, so I'll see if that works on either squirrels or rabbits. |

Years ago, I got rabbits in my vegetable garden and decided it would be a good idea to follow some neighbor's advice and sprinkle the small patch with mothballs. Had to throw out 50% of the yield, as it also *tasted* and *smelled* like mothballs. Where's Elmer Fudd when you need him?

I am in Texas, on the edge of the Hill Country. the foxes are wonderful, the gray ones climb trees like a cat, they are smart and cute as they can bee, we noticed them when we put out some food for the feral cats, one day there was a fox, they they began coming on a regular basis, when the kits were born we noticed there were babies but were really surprised to see them all out there one evening, the emother nursing them and the little ones playing, they come frequently tho they are not a single unit any more. They are not tame, but are what I would call " friendly " and are very comfortable in my yard and my neighbors too. Rosie |

Haven't seen it since before the coyotes showed up, though I don't know if there's any connection. I watched a nature program yesterday which showed a coyote chasing a fox away. The narrator said that coyotes chase foxes because they compete for the same food sources. |
