Why not? Stock proof all the way round, the only weak points are the gates, if I get 'em sorted then I'm secure aren't I?


You could try charging them a toll to come in...

(Sorry - I'm in a silly mood).

I was thinking more like drawbridge and moat of burning oil.

You could blast 'em with a full volume taped rendition of 'Bright Eyes' each time the movement sensor is activated.

You could make earmuffs out of the rabbits that die with the shock (or your appalling bad taste in music)...

You could stand there menacingly and say to the rabbits:

Do you see any squirrels?
Do you see an hares?
Do you see any muntjac?
Why do you feel so lucky, bunny?

etc

But you probably have better things to do.

That's the best suggestion so far, strangely appealing (or should that be appalling?)

Put a cat flap in the gate with a slide right down to your house - instant dinner.

Spreading ferret shit round the perimeter helps to keep them out. Or you could keep free-range ferrets in your veg plot.
