Default pesky rabbits update..

i recently posted a thread looking for humane methods of dealing with the bunnies [ i really appreciated the offers to assassinate them, but decided against]........
anyway i have been putting chilli powder down around plants and at possible points of bunny entry and there has def been a decrease in damage- very little at all over the last few days. i used a really hot chilli powder which asda sells in a 500g bag for £1.50. it may just be coincidence so if anyone else would like to experiment and post results it may be useful.

That is not very humane, think of all those sore little whiffly noses.

If your daughters rabbit becomes a guinea pig, then I think you're onto a winner! Someone call Guiness!
