Relocating animals can cause a long and painful death and create other problems. Animals don't immediately show symptoms of diseases they are infected by. You can move an animal today that will be obviously sick two days later. If you've done that you've increased the odds of spreading disease. Healthy animals might now be exposed to disease they needn't have been exposed to. Territory wars can be mean and nasty. If you've never seen rabbits fight it might be hard to picture. They have sharp nails and teeth and inflict a lot of damage. An animal that can't establish its own territory struggles to find food and shelter. Without food and shelter they'll die of exposure and/or starvation. Death by efficient bullet or shotgun shell is much more merciful than a long, painful death. There are other complications. I live just out of sight of a side road. They stop on the side road to empty, or leave, their live traps. Since people can't see me I must not be there, right? Wrong. Just because you don't see someone doesn't mean you aren't pawning your problem off on someone else. We've shot more raccoons and skunks than I like to remember. Did they do anything? Yes and no. They did what they do naturally - rip heads and wings off my chickens, ducks and turkeys, raid nests and kill unhatched birds, and expose my dogs and cats to disease. What they do is natural but it's not ok. The poor little bunny was treated humanely. It could have had a much crueler, less humane, prolonged death.

I have a pair of bunnies like that, mine are made of cast iron. Loved the shabby chic look of the white paint on them and have them on my buffet. I love the bird, lots of ways to use that one, inside or out! He'd make a wonderful tipsy pot topper if he'd fit over the rebar. Good finds. Karen

I love purple fountain grass. I had lots of it last year, but it is not hardy in my zone 5a. So I brought them inside into the basement, watered them once a week. They were doing fine at first. But when I brought them out in the spring, they were all rotted away. How do you overwinter them?

'Little Bunny' does really well for us here in 7b NC...I don't think it will look like hairplugs, but if I were worried about getting it to fill in quickly, I'd just plant a little closer together. If you are really freaking out, and color isn't an issue...I'd suggest taking a look at Festuca glauca 'Elijah Blue'. It stays 12" or less here...usually closer to 8". Nice mounding habit--works well in mass plantings...but I think 'Little Bunny' will do what you want it to.
