We have a 10' x 14' outside concrete deck in an L corner of house. It has a roof and 30" high concrete walls with about 15" wide top on those walls, with an exit to the steps next to house. My good wife has noticed rabbit tracks on deck past few mornings. I have just this morning discovered he has taken up residence under a big wooden chair, almost burried in snow at the far corner of deck.

Smart rabbit, I expect he saw this as a better option than digging out from under our hedge every morning. Hedge has been completely burried for about a week now. Lets face it why dig out from under a hedge every morning when someone will shovel within 2 feet of the chair and his new exit.

Hi Hugh, Well, I can say your wife is the same as mine! Of course you know what happened to me with those darn mice! Maybe, rabbits are not so bad!

Aw...What the heck Give the poor thing a few carrots... he won't hurt anything.
Those seeds on the engine block mean mice in Georgia. I nearly had an engine fire from a build up of straw. Never lit but was smoking. Try to keep them off. If the car sits for a few days stand out side the car with a shot gun while someone starts it you will probably get a shot. Its about the only way to keep them out once they figure out how cozy an engine block can be.

I chased one from under the stand-by geneator at one of our sites yesterday before I exersized it. It has a block heater. I guess he would have left anyway but he probably would not be hearing so well.

Hugh, We've got a couple of renegade rabbits that have decided to homestead here at out place rather than stay home which was about 1/8 mile down the road. We've felt sorry for them and have started feeding them, since the missus works for a grocery store and the produce mgr gives her a bag or so of trimmings each day. I wasn't sure where they were nesting until I saw them emerge from under the old grainery building. A couple of mornings, tho I saw them come out from under the missus's car since she came home after working till after mid-nite. They have their own pen at home, but choose to stay here. Like or not, I may end up with more rabbits than I know what to do with by spring.

Paul: I just wonder how far they will go up under the car also. We have no squirrles here yet I have found sun flower seeds on top of the car engine. At least they don't chew the wires like the squirrles do. Sometimes I wonder just how costly it is living with a woman who loves little creatures. My wife will not let anyone harm a spider, she will move them to where it suits better, but heaven help you if you kill one.

I remember an old dairy farmer back in Nova Scotia, dairy inspectors were always after him for cobwebs in his stable and no screens on his milk room door. He said,"If you keep the spiders, they will eat the flies and you don't need screens on the milk room door." I can say this, I have been in his milk room many times, and right there were no more flies than anyone else's milk room.

Cowman: That is precisely why he is here, great bunch of corn stover to the east, two bales of hay spread out over sump pump discharge and my good better half feeds the birds. Nothing like that going on back at the bush.
