I woke up went outside to check on my plants when i noticed a hole had been dug near one of my plants. i get closer and realize its stuffed with fur so i get a stick and lightly move the fur when i see a bunch of baby bunnies. will they dig and destroy my roots? i have no idea what to do. any suggestions.

The mother rabbit might strip the outside of the stalk killing the plant, not sure about babies though...

Irish spring hang some high and low helps with many animals i use it for deer and rabbits, talcum powder aswell because rabbits use there nose so much works to.

Thought rabbits kept young in burrows? Interesting.

Be great to let mama raise her babies before evicting them. Could you put a temporary plastic tube guard around the stalk until babies are grown up and you can send them on their way? Wonder if something like neem oil would discourage them from munching on anything?

Its a baby bunny they are pretty easy to pick up by hand. I would be concerned about the hole drying out depending how deep they dug in there. That is why I don’t dig a massive hole and fill it with potting soil, its hard to keep out the groundhogs, rats, moles, bunnies, etc. They grow fast give it a week or two and you won’t mind evicting them.

Intense habanero pepper spray on plant stalk and leaves and around items very close to your plants. Respray liberally.
