Key indicators include damaged plants, often eaten near the base; scattered droppings resembling small dark pellets; burrows or small holes in the ground, typically found in dense vegetation; and distinctive tracks with four toes on the front feet and five on the back. During colder months, rabbits may also chew on the bark of trees and shrubs when food is scarce. If you notice any of these signs, it’s essential to take action to protect your property.
- Damaged plants: Rabbits are herbivores and love to eat plants. If you find that the plants in your garden have been damaged or eaten, especially near the base of the plant, it’s a good indication that rabbits are present.
- Droppings: Rabbit droppings look like small round pellets and can be found scattered around the garden. The droppings are usually dark in colour and can help identify if rabbits are present.
- Burrows: Rabbits dig burrows in the ground and create tunnels for shelter and nesting. Look for small holes or burrows in the ground, usually located in areas with dense vegetation or cover.
- Tracks: Rabbit tracks are small and have four toes on their front feet and five on their back feet. You may see these tracks in soft soil or mud.
- Chewing on bark: Rabbits may chew on the bark of trees and shrubs, especially during the winter when other food sources are scarce.
If you notice any of these signs, it’s likely that you have rabbits. It is important to take steps to deter them from damaging your plants, landscaping, or buildings.
