I'm guessing the rabbits are chewing the tape because they need the water. If you can't get rid of the rabbits, I wonder if creating some small water troughs in your fields might solve this--it would give them an easier source, and might cut down on the chewing. Last October, which was extremely dry here in Massachusetts, I was losing lots of raspberries because the yellow jackets were eating the tips out. I watered more, and got the leaves wet, and they started drinking that, instead of raspberry juice.
