I had an old fence i was ripping down today around my hop garden. I had big plans to build some better arbors and improve the soil . And then the new dog we have had for a few weeks noticed a baby rabbit near the one hop plant. An explosion of small rabbits was next, we went out there later and there appears to be at least 3 little rabbits( maybe 4 inches long?) there not very big.
Anyhow, the dog has to be on a leash around the back yard now. Earlier he wanted out and chased the large rabbit out of the enclosed area. It came back when i looked before dark.
Not sure what i can do. After no dogs for 8 months after the last one died. The rabbit must of decided our yard was a good place .And the wife would not go for rabbit stew..she is a city girl.
