We live in the country, surrounded by rabbits, jacks and cottontails. We go for walks all the time. She thinks those little rabbit droppings are M & M's! I try to stop her but she always manages to get some. She's 9 yrs old, is never sick and has been doing it since she was a baby. We have 5 other dogs also, rescues, and they do the same thing. I regularly worm all of them. Interceptor has it in it. I check all their stools from time to time. I have found worms in the outside dogs, but then promptly de-worm them. They mainly get the worms from eating rabbits that they catch and eat....yuk! We dispose of them as soon as we see them munching. |
is there a natural way to keep rabbits out of my back yard??? maybe a plant or spice they don't like. |
I have planted marigolds around my garden to keep rabbits out. It seems to work pretty well - I don't know how it would work around a whole yard! That would be a lot of marigolds.:D |
We have pet rabbits. One rabbit i don't know what kind it is, he is kinda wild looking...the other is ours, a baby dwarf bunny. We try to avoid them eating whenever we can, it is mostly Teddy that does it. He also likes eating the seeds the birds drop and the rabbit hay:rolleyes: It's supposed to be good for digestion |
my 17 week old yorkie has had diarrhea for 2 weeks the vet finally put him on antibiotics and a diarrhea medication along with a special food, we couldn't figure out why he kept getting having diarrhea, then it snowed really bad here and i couldn't take him out, i had him going on a pad, diarrhea stopped, next time i took him out i realized he was eating rabbit poop, i spoke to the vet who said this could most definetely be the cause of the diarrhea, he is retesting his poop again. I knew he kept picking stuff off the ground but i never imagined it was rabbit poop, but then i caught him with it in his mouth and he dropped it, i was disgusted, i also have it all over my yard, so now i'm back to taking him out on a leash to control this. :eek: |
My two do this too, impossible to keep them from it, these little buggers are just too fast. I put mine on prevenitive worm meds they get from the Vet every 6 mo. gross:rolleyes: |

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:eek: ), 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. |

rabbit poop My Gizmo is a poop eater. Any kind of poop he can find in the backyard is a real treat to him. Frozen poops are particularly crunchy. Anyway, he became very sick a couple years ago from eating rabbitt poop. He had severe diareah, became dehydrated,etc. The vet said he contacted either roundworms or hookworms, I can't remember. He was treated with medicine and it went away. The vet put him on Promeris which he takes once a month. He still eats rabbit poop, but has not gotten sick since. Good luck |

I hate when something comes and poos in our yard:mad: |
Do I just use a little hot sauce? And should I do it to ALL the droppings? I just went out today and tried to pick up as much of it as I could and attempted to block off their entry and exit ways. I'm starting to think they're not so cute anymore:mad: ! |
1 Attachment(s) It's impossible to spray get them all, i tried with the apple bitters spray, which works when i spray it, but what am i suppose to do go spray everyday, there is a product that you can put on your lawn that keeps the rabbits off it, it's an organic product that is not harmful, i'm looking into it, i was going to try home depot, but if they don't have it i know the internet does. My little guy just loves those nuggets, he eats them every chance he gets, i have to go out with him and monitor him, today we have about 5 inches of snow, so i don't have to worry about it, yeh.:animal36 Attachment 196498 |
