Doesn't sound like we are talking pet rabbits, they can be a problem. They like fresh green don't they. Locate a local feed and seed kinda store, call them and ask if they keep red fox urine. Depending on where you live, there are preditors. And fox and coyotes, even human urine puts out a sent that makes these small obnotious pest fear and leave. Use gloves, and cotton balls and you can see where it goes. Apply urine to cotton balll and toss around the yard.

If you are dealing with Bugs Bunny you need an Elmer to even get started.

On a more serious note, forget the stinky things. You have to keep reaplying, and believe it or not they have brains and will learn to ignore them.

Get some chickenwire, 3 foot wide (tall). And buil yourself a fence around you tasty veggies. Bent about 6-8" of the bottom so it can be burried where the rabbits would dig. They wouldn't try to dig thru the wire, but will push under it if they can. Most rabbits will easily jump over two feet. The 3ft wire with a bend and a little buring will be tall enough so they can't get over. (Hopefully)

I've had good luck with this. No luck with "rabbit wire" or those smelly sprays.

Dogs help, and cats too, but they need to have interest in chasing the bunnies. The rabbits here barely runn away from me when I throw things at them.

The shotgun really works well. The rabbit you shoot will never eat again. And I leave them out for the ravens and coyotes to scavange. Having the coyotes around helps keep the pop'n down. And the owls help too. Nice big barn owls do eat rabbits, and mice and rats. So put up an owl box to get them to hang around.
