Wild rabbits can do considerable damage to flowers, vegetables, trees and shrubs any time of the year, especially in places such as suburban yards, rural fields and tree plantations.
Wild rabbits will eat your precious flowers and vegetables and can damage trees and shrubs by clipping stems, buds and small branches and by girdling larger trees.

| Wild rabbits often get the blame for damage in the garden or yard, but is not always the case.
Wild rabbits usually strip bark off of young trees only a short distance, approximately 2.5 feet, above the ground. Rabbit damage can be identified by a clean, angled cut on the end of leaves.
Another way to identify whether a rabbit is the cause of the leaf damage is to look at the tracks. Wild rabbits have five toes on the front feet and four toes on the back. The length of a running cottontail measures about one foot in length. Havahart® offers a variety of rabbit control solutions such as rabbit repellents and rabbit traps to help you with your rabbit control needs. |
