The chewing wire bit tends to solve itself 'cuz they only chew through once. But I have to replace the wire or resheath it. Don't like squirely beasts.

here we have issues with li'll bunny rabbits - soooo cute and cuddly till they chew on your crop of peas and pumpkins and distroy them all!
welllll you know what I do, crafty evil thing that I am? I put Neevie's USED litter all around the places I don't want them to go... (wood litter, so biodegradable) works most of the time but you have to be sure to get the whole area surrounded with fresh "stuff" regularly, yet far enough so they'll not even be tempted to attempt a raid.... Thank GOD for the Maine Coon's littering capability....

I know my neighbor did not like bunnies either! I let Rex and Bentley out this morning without looking and they chased a cotton tail around the yard! I am sure it scared the bajeebers out of the poor bunny. I don't grow vegetables and I was not too happy when they chewed on my sun flowers but I like bunnies more than sun flowers anyways

The red squirrel in my daughters yard taunts my son in law and the Aussie!, it chatters and blows raspberries at them!!!! Neener, neener!!! hahaha it is so fast Ben can not shoot it with his bb gun. I have this squirrel Ferris wheel and it is awesome! they are such funny little fellas
woohoo this is so much fun!

Donna that is a brilliant idea bet they have loads of fun on it. Squirrels are quite intelligent and have problem solving capabilities !

See I like that problem solving idea, not cruel but stops the little blighters doing damage. Gold star Alekto for that one !
