Time passes and the brain grows dull. Elizabeth's friend's rabbit had a surprise litter of kits. The sun was shining, the birds singing in the trees. We visited the rabbits. Small rabbits have a way of appearing harmless.
What I have learned.
Rabbits will eat almost everything. They don't eat daffodils, so there is some colour in our garden at the moment. Otherwise they have systematically cut every living thing off at ground level. The clematis has died, the passion flower, the rose bushes.
The vet tells me that hysterectomies come as standard for female rabbits. Yes and at a price. I decide our rabbits will still have the wild element left intact. The rabbits say this means they will dig up our lawn.
Our lawn mower has broken down. At last, the rabbits have a function. Sure enough they are excellent at keeping the grass short,....and now the moss and buttercups are taking charge. Rabbits do not eat moss or buttercups. I guess a bit of yellow in the summer will be pleasant.
