Re: Rabbit fence & squirrel bait

I saw a rabbit jump right over our 3 foot high chicken wire fence! Unfortunately she got away and is free to propagate those genes :-(


Merry Christmas

Fence for rabbits need only be about 2 feet high.  Regular chicken wire will
do.  May need to use garden staples to keep them from squeezing beneath the
bottom of the fence, but I've never had them burrow under.

Squirrels can be trapped with smaller wire cage live traps.  My best success
has been with the ones that open on both ends.  Peanut butter crackers stuck
upside down on the bait platform work well for bait.  I put the traps in
places where the squirrels like to "perch" to chew on nuts when I can.
