How do i stop these nuisance wild rabbits from digging holes in my yard? There is no reason why they need to be in the city. Starting to get really annoyed with them.

rabbits?

We have tons of those big old jackrabbits around our place in Riverheights, but as far as I know they've never dug holes around our property. Eat stuff? Yes. Dig? No.

Are you sure it's the rabbits digging, or are they just taking advantage of already-existing holes? We had a woodchuck a couple of years ago, and boy THOSE suckers can dig!!!

You are incorrect many species dig and Jack rabbits are among those that also dig.

I think the only way to keep them out of the city is to borrow an idea from Trump and put up a wall. It would have to be pretty high those buggers can jump after all. Lets start pricing this out and Make Brandon Great again let's Keep those damn rabbits out!

Maybe the rabbits just need some direction. If they're digging, maybe we can harness them to dig ditches and pipe trenches for the city and utilities... we could pay them in carrots!!!

In all reality- them digging would indeed be a nuisance. Especially in the yard. I thought my cats would keep them away from my yard but it seems they are all now friends!!!

They can't be all bad. I've seen them eating dandelions.

I stand corrected I guess. Do they dig for nesting?

Then you just gather them all up and take them to the country...

Get a Jack Russel dog. They don’t come home till they run out of rabbits.
