Rabbit Services
Introduced to the UK, rabbits were once used as a food source keeping numbers in check. They are now seen across the UK and present their own problems concerning commercial practices.
Rabbits are small mammals in the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha and generally breed at a young age producing litters of up to 7 young, often doing so 4 or 5 times a year, given that a rabbit’s gestation period is only 28 to 31 days.
What are the signs that rabbits are present?
The first sign of a rabbit problem in your garden will be the lack of new shoots and plants which have been mown down to the ground by the rabbits. Unlike other small mammals, who leave ragged edges on plants, rabbits will completely destroy new vegetable plants, shoots and bulbs, especially tulips and woody plants. They have voracious appetites and so your plants will disappear very quickly! You may also notice small black circular fecal pellets which are a sign of rabbit activity.
What should I do?
Strong rabbit proof fencing is the best way to keep rabbits off your vegetables. This should be buried deep into the ground and bent into the ground to prevent rabbits from tunnelling under it. It should also be suitable height so that the rabbits can’t jump over it.
However, if you find that you have got a rabbit problem within a commercial setting, then it is time to call the professionals for advice and guidance to stop the problem. Hillbans can recommend an immediate solution but also a programme of action going forward.
