Default Oh, No !!! Now I've Got Trouble With Rabbits !!!

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?

Although, personally, I'd use a steel trap like this one I used to use
as a kid to catch rabbits for the family table.

You betcha. Fried like chicken, or in a couple of classic French
renditions. Here is a link to a recipe for lapin a la moutarde,
rabbit in mustard sauce. It includes a section on how to make stock
from the head and bony parts of the rabbit. -aem

Not if you kill them with bait.

If the bait is for a spring trap, then they'll be okay.

I hope walnuts work.

They're in the house? What's attracting them?
My mom gets them in the yard quite often, but they never get into the house.
They're content to dine on the stuff she leaves out for them...it distracts
them from the garden

Get yourself a cat and a dog. Give the cat free access to the attic
and let the dog outside. That will take scare them away.

I'm thinking rat traps baited with carrots. Or parsnips.

My last two cats were killed by neighborhood coyotes.

I know they're still here, because every now and then in the
middle of the night, I hear the coyotes howling followed by
every dog in the neighborhood going nuts.

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*.

Yeah, brilliant... a trap that doesn't discriminate in what it will
kill/maim. There are far better trap options in this day and age.
Not hard to find by doing a search.

>> Also, they're good eatin', right?
>>

> Damn straight!!!


Agree on that much, at least.
Plenty of bunnies where I am. Tasty, fresh and unadulterated meat. Easy
to skin and prepare too. Too bad you didn't keep our appointment in
August lucas, you could've caught plenty of them here...

> We call them "underground chickens".

i've lost a llama & a goat to coyotes, but my barn cats are
too smart to get cornered... & i make sure they have enough
*safe* places to get away from predators. they have a hole
under the barn & up through the floor that is far too small
for anything bigger than a cat, or skunk. the garage door is
always open 6", enough for the cats, but not enough for the
coyotes. there are lots of trees, & there is the Malamute's
fenced yard & dog house. Chief likes cats. he *hates* coyotes.
but indoor cats really aren't safe outdoors.

> I know they're still here, because every now and then in

really? i hear them yipping, but none of the neighbor dogs
get going as well. none of mine do either (i have 4 dogs).
2 neighbors (relatively speaking... none are very close) have
beagles. those stupid dogs bell a lot, but not at the coyotes.
and the coyotes should eat your rabbits.

Go on, the only bunny you ever encountered as a kid was the big pink stuffed
one your "bachelor uncle" gave you to put on yer bed...

Build an oblong wooden box.

Put a sliding vertical door on front.

Make a trigger mechanism with a carrot as bait that will let the door slide
down when they take the bait.

Made gazillions of them as a kid. Never caught a rabbit. Not even once.

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.

My backwoods Alabama father used to call squirrels "tree chickens." He
and his 3 siblings were raised by a widowed mother with a third grade
education through the Depression, so eats was eats.

Given the economy lately, we had all better sharpen our hunting skills

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?

If we are not meant to eat animals,
why are they made of meat?

The discharging of firearms other than is designated areas in a normal

Import some foxes, we have gray foxes, they eat a lot of things --
almost anything, and they love rabbits. This year we had a bumber crop
of baby foxes, 6 of them for a grand total sometimes of 9 of the
foxes !

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.

There was a fox hanging around the neighborhood
a few years ago. 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.

Now I'm not sure if I should be flattered or insulted?

Yes, they compete for a lot of the same foods, the foxes are
supposedly mostly nocturnal but we see them at any time of the day.
they have several dens near the house and move from one to another.
