Three of my pigmy Barberry bushes have had several "twigs" snapped/chewed off. Looked like a nice clean cut...nothing that bugs would do. Couldn't figure out what was destroying them....
Then my wife hollered for me as she was watering the bushes and landscape plants. She discovered these!!
They are cute when they're little as the saying goes....but these rabbits around here sure are destructive.
Should I pick them up and take them out in the woods?
Chances are high that they'll be in the crosshairs in a few months....so I'd just as soon set them free somewhere so we don't cross paths when they're full grown and destroying my garden, plants, etc.

2 – 3 Rabbits cut and cubed for stew meat 2 boxes Lipton garlic and chive potato seasoning packs 4 – 5 large potatoes cut and cubed 1 cup sliced carrots 1 lg. white onion, sliced and diced 1 jar Heinz heat and eat Brown gravy
Soak the rabbit pieces in saltwater overnight. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brown the rabbit pieces in a skillet with a small amount of oil. Use one package of Lipton potato seasoning to coat the rabbit meat and the other package of seasoning to coat the potatoes (Follow the directions on the box). Spread the rabbit, potatoes, carrots and onion on a shallow baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Add the gravy and bake for an additional 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

They look way too young to be snatched from their Mom. Leave 'em be. I had sweet little baby bunnies like this in my flowerbed. They were so cute! The day after I noticed them, Mom moved them. That's probably what will happen to yours. Bunnies are smarter than you think. Meanwhile I have a 22 year old with a .22, so most rabbits don't stand a chance in my yard. love....Jill

When done,, throw away the woodchuck and eat the frying pan..

That ain't called a woodchuck around these parts, that's a groundhog! And I have a HUGE one in the yard. Justis was tenting out the other night and he could hear one sniffing and hissing around his tent. love....Jill PS This is what was on our back porch in Florida last month! Yikes!

The rabbits are gone this morning....either a cat got them or they hippity-hopped away....
Talk about disloyalty!! Something invades your bush for a few days and then leaves without so much as a kiss goodbye! LOL.
