What ski said. Chicken wire. Or get you several rat terriers. They love chasing rabbits.

You could get a live trap and try to catch it, then take it a mile or two down the road and put it off on someone else..LOL

If your going to trap it you should eat it! You can make a pretty simple deadfall trap with materials on hand.

trapping or killing is illegal in some states be careful. I bought a product called deer off that works on rabbits too. So far it is working very well, but its not truly cost effective($40/qt) but it is working!

A fence would be cheaper. I have 3' plastic fencing around mine. It was free from Freecycle.org

I use dog clippings. When I trim my dogs I put their hair in my garden and I don't have anything eating my stuff except for the bugs. I use soapy water on the bugs.

Same problem. I tried the sprays and hot sauce and it didn't seem to phase them. I put the plastic fence and folded it under and staked it down. If you don't they will just go under it. I haven't had a problem since.

Franks red hot mixed with water seems to be working best. The liquid fence smelled like crap and didn't work. I was also thinking the fertilizer millorganite might work with its human scent too

Millorganite works well for deer when you hang it in cheese cloth on the plants they eat so I figure if your not getting any luck,maybe not. Do yyou have a lot of clover

You can try slivers of Irish sp.ring around in ur garden. I've used itor many years to keep deer and other animals away that would like nothing. Better than to eat up a garden. Good luck

Why try to keep the rabbits away?
Set traps for them in the garden and then you can have meat, too.

Thank you.
I do put moth balls around the house to keep the mice away so I'll put some around the plants too. My yard will smell real lovely, 
I saw two adult rabbits doing the mateing chase last night in my back yard, so soon there will be lots of bunnys again.
How rude it is for the parents to just leave them and they have to figure out on their own what to do and eat. My Hostas were all chewed up last year.
I had put Fox urine around but it didn't faze them.
but but but they left the babies in ur care cuz ya got the biggest grocery store for em!!!

easier --- plant a garden for the rabbits to fatten them up before you kill them and eat them
