Q: Do rabbits eat mint and other herbs?

• <div><p>Rabbits have a penchant for plants, relishing herbs, veggies, fruits, and grasses. Common herbs like mint, basil, and cilantro are fair game for rabbits. In fact, leafy greens such as mint and thyme are rabbit favorites. Not only do bunnies find it yummy, but it packs health benefits when consumed in small amounts.</p></div>

Q: What are rabbits' worst enemies?

• <div><p>Rabbits face a range of formidable adversaries in rural and suburban areas. Natural predators such as hawks, foxes, bobcats, raccoons, coyotes, and weasels pose significant threats to their survival. These skilled hunters target bunnies for food, contributing to regulating rabbit populations. Outdoor housepets can be enemies, too, particularly dogs and cats. And loud little humans playing in your yard make great rabbit deterrents, too.</p></div>

Q: What scents will keep foxes away?

• <div><p>There&rsquo;s little scientific evidence to suggest that <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/homemade-remedies-ward-wildlife.htm">homemade remedies to ward off wildlife</a> are effective. But, often, when using them alongside other management techniques, it won&rsquo;t do any harm to try. Suggestions include using urine-soaked kitty litter or sweat-soaked clothing items. Try applying them around your fence perimeters. Always read the instructions carefully for any commercially-bought repellents and opt for EPA-approved products. Multiple applications, especially after rain, are often necessary.</p></div>
