Something picked and ate some of my bush beans yesterday - only thing we
have around here that I can think of is raccoons - the rabbits generally
don't come this close to the house. Last year, the raccoons ate 75% of my
melons, so I'm in for a battle this year...but green beans?

Subject: [NAFEX] trapping rabbits?

If peanut butter is great lure for squirrels, what works for rabbits?
We tried lettuces, carrots, etc. in a havahart trap, and got a very ticked
off possum--but the rabbits were elusive.

Whoo, I'm happy you are not going into therapy over a squirrel. Get
a live trap and hide it in bushes or anywhere where a neighbor can't
see it. Use peanut butter for bait. You will catch them all.
