Moral dilemma
I have a small garden for vegetables. There is a "rabbit fence" around it. A rabbit fence has smaller openings on the bottom so the rabbits cannot get through. The other day I noticed a rabbit inside the fence and saw a hole in the gate. I put something in front of it to keep the rabbit out. Yesterday I was weeding (weeds were quite tall) and noticed that something had come under the fence, so decided that needed repairing. But as I was weeding I came upon two, not one but two, nests of baby rabbits. These were inside the fence meant to keep them out. I know if I would move the nest the babies would die. So I now am providing great food for the whole family: lettuce, peas, beans, etc. My dilemma was should I choose the rabbits or the vegetables in the garden. Guess it will be the rabbits.

Oh dear! Is there any way to build a new fence that segregates the baby rabbits, and then make a hole in the old fence, so that they get out?
But then what would the baby rabbits eat? :-)
surely there is something else for the baby rabbits to eat? Or you could feed them!
Or you could raise the rabbits and eat them. Rabbit is very good.
Well done Bernice - you made the right choice and you can make the fencing rabbit proof once the babies are older. It seems like a wonderful opportunity for blog photos.
I have to agree with De-I. I am really only a fan of rabbits when they are stewed. These rabbits were very lucky in their choice of gardens to next in! :)
