Do rabbits eat cannas?
Comments (1)Kathleen, After growing cannas for many years along with cottontail rabbits living amongst them, I can only say they do not eat cannas by choice. Now, if the only succulent green thing available is a canna, your desert rabbit may be forced to give them a try. For most of us, rabbits typically are not a problem.

Comments (26)This is what a rose cane looks like when chewed on by a carnivore: Here is the guilty party: I know she did it because I saw her do it. Not a problem as the cane was dead, but I still moved a temporary garden fence to block access to that rose (a rare one naturally--Rosa arnoldiana 'khirghisia'). Gizi is a Kuvasz and she LOVES veggies and fruits of all kinds. Lettuce? Delicious. Add carrots, broccoli, asparagus, tomatoes, oranges (including the peel, even when green), potatoes, etc to the list. Grasses are a delicacy (I have added many CA native forage grasses in part to satisfy her liking for green snacks). Near the top of her munchies list are rosehips. She adores nibbling those off the roses. If no rosehips, then she isn't averse to gnawing on canes--dead or alive. So I have to watch Miss Greedy Guts!

Comments (6)I continue to use Liquid Fence concentrate (32 oz. for $32-37 at most stores) with a generic Walmart high-volume spray bottle. Rabbits don't come near my yard now, even to breed, as I'm not even finding babies hiding in nooks and crannies. The concentrate lasts about a growing season, provided I use it once a week. And of course the less it rains, the few applications are needed. I continue to recommend the concentrate as the pre-mixed bottles start to gum up toward the ends. I empty the generic sprayer on my plants and thoroughly rinse it out with water each time....See Moredavemichigan
