I have a plan. I found rabbit fencing at my local Ace Hardware. It has smaller, horizontal openings at the bottom. Usually this is the area in other fences where rabbits tend to squeeze through and get into areas. I found this out last winter when I begin to obsessively observe the rabbits. There is a little dog yard for my sister's pet, and rabbits would slip into the yard area and when the dog would chase them, they'd make haste and be gone. However, in that fencing, all the openings were vertical rectangles of the same size...kind of the same shape as a rabbit's body when stretched out and running.
I have put up some of this rabbit fencing for the dog yard now and I can see how a rabbit would have a harder time getting in and out. The horizontal openings at the bottom are narrow.So, the plan is to put a rabbit fence up from one side of the house, across the bed where the figs grow, to the other side of the house to include the dog yard. More on that later once the job is done.
