We've had rabbits in the yard and the garden, but, nothing major.
Lately we've had more trouble with a certain skunk....ew-www!

We have feral rabbits here. I welcome them in my yard as they nibble on the grass.

Didn't think the rabbits bother with anything until I saw them munching on my green bean plants, so I started spraying peppermint oil and laying blood mill around to keep them away. Whole yard full of greens to eat and they come for my plants

We have them here sometimes & fortunately they haven't sprayed our pets. We have feral rabbits here. I welcome them in my yard as they nibble on the grass. I like watching them. I see them most active towards dusk. Didn't think the rabbits bother with anything until I saw them munching on my green bean plants, so I started spraying peppermint oil and laying blood mill around to keep them away. Whole yard full of greens to eat and they come for my plants Did the peppermint & blood mill help? Another thing you can try is maybe fence the beans in a bit or put a floating row cover over them.

Then once the rabbits are gone, block it off so they can't get under there again. We have them under our shed but I honestly don't mind it.

We have some rabbits around, although the feral cats often keep them at bay in the town. Overall we have never had any major issues as our raised gardens mostly keep them at bay and I don't mind little nibbles on things. However, the rabbits have an easier time getting into the yard than getting out when the dog discovers them and the kids do not enjoy how that goes.

We have a walkout basement to a fenced yard where our cats & dog goes with a cat door. Many a time I've walked down there & seen body parts!
