| The Solution? |
I noticed a pile of wood chips the last time I went out to the hayport - then discovered rabbit damage. It seems they have found the nice, dry, food-laden space to be a haven during this endless, bitter winter. While I know I cannot keep the hayport varmint-free, I am not fond of vandalism. Needing a quick fix, I decided to see whether they had an aversion to Latin cuisine and slathered hot sauce on all the affected wood surfaces. This morning I found evidence that a little bit more had been gnawed, but it seemed to have stopped suddenly - Ai Carumba!

Let's just hope your rabbit isn't an illegal Mexican! He may like your seasoning.
Many years ago we had a black bear who was doing damage on our property. (He tore through a solid wall of a shed housing grain!) We were advised to make him Tabasco sandwiches. Two slices of white bread with a good soaking of Tabasco sauce in the middle. He liked them. He always ate them every night before starting to tear things apart.
I always wondered if that worked. But I see from Mama Pea that its 50/50. I hope it works for your invaders. It looks like the damage the rats do here. And they will et anything.
Mama Pea - Holy Toledo! It looks like whoever it was got a mouthful of hot stuff. Let's hope he/she doesn't develop a taste for it.
Jane - I was thinking originally it might be caused by a rat, but all of the "evidence" inside points to rabbits.
That worked for the skunk that was terrorizing my garden a few years ago!
Erin - I always live in terror that a skunk will infiltrate my chicken yard. I actually like them - I had one as a pet once. But skunk+chickens= bad news, not to mention the skunk+dog formula.
