4. Strange visitors!

I've found it impossible to trap (Humane Box Trap) bunnies,
simply because any bait I have tried is less appetizing that what is abundantly available
in the veggie garden and elsewhere. There is just no reason for them to go into the trap.

It might be possible to use chicken wire to build a long funnel that ends at the box trap, and chase them into the funnel, but I haven't tried that yet. That would be peeing into the wind considering the # of wild bunnies around here.

We had a strange visitor a couple of weeks ago too.

Like your bunnies, this strikingly beautiful Dove (Pigeon?) stood out like an intelligent person at a Tea Party Rally. She hung around for a few of days, and we were hoping she would decide to stay, but critters who stand out like this generally don't last very long around here (Hawk bait).

Good Luck with your Bunnies.
