They are very bright (for instance they have figured out how not to get caught in the trap that caught the hare).rochefleuriegardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06783773632775842680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890786265475429448.post-81989400737302324962014-06-28T11:51:21.971-04:002014-06-28T11:51:21.971-04:00Awww, he's beautiful.

We have rabbit fencing and guests often leave the gate open so we do have problems our rabbit friends. The hares haven't managed to get in for a while though. The best thing about snowfall is that after I have built my snowman and had a snowball fight, I can wander around the perimeter of our property and check for paw prints or signs of a break in the fence. I am surprised your guest didn't take advantage of all the fare on offer and stuck to clover and chard! Opportunity missed, dear hare.
