Pesky Rabbits

Not long after we started on the allotment we were viciously attacked by the local rabbit community. They decimated our cabbage plants and lettuce seedlings with malice aforethought.

The representative from "The Warren" did not wish to be identified.

A witness statement claimed “The little buggers nearly ruined us!”

A representative from “The Warren”, as the rabbits call themselves, told us “Youse guys have the goodies – and we have the determination and the numbers on our side, see! Yez don’t stand a chance! Yez don’t know who ye’r dealin’ with.” He did not wish to be named.

Another victim of the rabbit attacks had this to add: “I’ve seen some nasty things in my life but this just pure evil. How could they do this to us? This just pure vegetable slaughter

We were given many tips on how to combat the onslaught including one that suggested we surround the plot with ashes. We didn’t try that one as it sounded too supernatural to actually work. Maybe they were thinking of slugs?

We found that the only surefire way to prevent these incursions was to erect chicken wire fencing dug down at a depth of at least 6 inches.  It works. But we must be ever vigilant. The Warren is waiting for any opportunity for an open fence or gate. Be warned!

    A rabbit came into a shop and asked, “Got any carrots?” The seller answered, “No!”

    The next day the rabbit came again and asked, “Got any carrots?” The seller replied “No!”

    Next day the rabbit came and asked, “Got any carrots?” The seller shouted, “No! And if you come again and ask for carrots, I’ll take nails and hammer you on the wall by your ears!”

    Early next morning the rabbit came back and asked, ” Got any nails?” The seller answered, “No!” The rabbit asked, “Got any carrots?”

    Guys…the moral is:-
    Keep a stock of nails!!!

    In order to catch a rabbit, you must hide behind a tree and make a noise like a carrot.
