Pedroofn19 Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Ive heard plenty of Guerilla growers have problems with Rabbits munching their plants. I was wondering if anyone has used Ferret poo, or the litter from a Ferrets cage to try to deter the bunnies ? Ive seen Rabbits really get scared after one little sniff of a Ferret, so I guess the sent of a Ferret would make them very wary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabbit proof fencing is your best bet, if it's a back garden, not so easy or worth while for a GG grow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ran ferrets through a rabbit Warren, bolted rabbits from said Warren, two days later they were back. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celtic voyager Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 You could try with netting around your plants, like chicken wire, but you have to bury it 12 to 18 inches deep, otherwise they'll just tunnel under it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamer420 Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 You should have netted the holes or shot the bolters then! Used to love going ferreting. Might have to see if anyone around here does it… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
