I read today that those cute wild rabbits  can have at least 5 litters a year with an average of 5 cute little bunnies per litter. If a person has rabbits around their property how in the world could you keep your dog away from the scat from that many rabbits?
Who in the world can watch their dogs that closely every second they're outside? 
I guess the answer would be to have the pups stool checked on a regular basis. |
That's pretty much our situation. There's these adorable little cottontail bunnies who come onto the lawns (just about everyone here has lawn like a golf course, not the long bladed type) and I guess they're eating the grass since it's all there is? Anyway, they're wild and there's got to be a LOT of them (I DO know how rabbits breed
), but our back lawn is where Max plays and potties, so it's hard to watch him every second esp. when it's dark and he has to go out (there's not very good lighting back there) to see if he's picking it up or not. I wish there was something they could take to keep them immune from whatever it is the bunnies might have. We don't have rats (and if we did, they'd be GONE immediately)so I'm not concerned about them.
