I'm not referring to the cable chewing and carpet digging, but in the garden, in their own territory, why do they seem to wage war on the lawn grass ?
Last summer, my gf and I cleared up a corner of the garden that had got really overgrown and wasn't used for anything other than composting. We sowed lots of grass seed and it started to look really green and lush
I allowed the rabbits to graze on it, hoping they would enjoy the nice fresh grass - they did, but they also started digging it ALL up. Holes started appearing and the grass died. By the autumn all the grass was dead, and only moss was left
In the rest of the garden, they are the same, running from spot to spot, scratching a little here and there, not at all interested in eating, just seemingly destroying
I've noticed they also strip the bark from young trees, and go out of their way to stand on their hind legs to get at the bark at higher levels
Please won't someone tell me, why the little tykes are like this ?
I've fenced off the corner and will try resowing in march, hopefully with it fenced off they won't be able to kill the grass before it gets really established
