Rabbit-Proof Fencing

Article of the Day








By the way... I think the "Article of the Day" will change tomorrow, so for those of you reading this after 1/3/08, you can click here.

An interesting read... We have a movie by that name, although we haven't watched it yet. Here's a picture of me with it :-) I don't look too awfully thrilled, do I? I guess the bunny population didn't appreciate the fence.

BUNNY FACT: Did you know rabbits can get in much smaller spaces than it looks like they could? I've seen wild rabbits squeeze through supposedly "rabbit-proof" garden fencing. I, too, can get in some tight little places.

BUNNY WISDOM: If you've read the Free Dictionary article about the rabbits in Australia, you'll realize that seemingly harmless actions can have very bad consequences. It wouldn't hurt to look ahead and see what the results might be before trying something.

Chives

I was reading an article this morning about chives. They're similar to onions in many ways. At The Free Dictionary, you can see the whole article. Chives also have pretty pink or purple little flowers. What really caught my eye was that chives can help lower blood pressure. Not that it's something very out of the ordinary, but it made me think, "Does it have the same effect on bunnies?"

I really don't know.

My assumption would be yes, in a small way. I'm going to look around to see if I can find out.

BUNNY FACT: Bunnies love most anything out of the garden - except for marigolds. They're often planted to keep us out :(

BUNNY WISDOM: Don't run in Mr. McGregor's patch alone unless you're sure you can get out!
