My battles with rabbits who are eating my flowers, eating my garden, have been chronicled here. I bought a rather pricey thornless blackberry bush a couple of years ago. It is smaller than when I got it. The rabbits love to eat it. They love to eat it so much that they make a nest beside the bush and nibble while they rest. I try to keep the area wet to discourage this.
Lately I have seen a dust pile a little way away from the garden. I thought it was birds. Birds like dust baths. I wasn't sure how they would make the dust piles, but birds are inventive. Birds are little dinosaurs. I have watched a sparrow and a purple finch battle over a nest and you would have thought of T Rex.
But, walking in the back the other day I discovered the culprit for my dust pile. It was the rabbits. It seems since I have been making mud near the preferred blackberry bush, the rabbits have moved a little ways away. They apparently like to lie in the dust. So they dig up the yard and sprawl. Needless to say, I now wet that area down as well. I wonder where they will go next?
