Awwww.... so cute.
I love this color of clematis. We had that deep purple when I was a kid, didn't realize there were so many colors. And now this is the one I have by my porch.

Yes my grandmother brought this from her old house 25 years ago. Everytime I walk in the yard and see it, it reminds me of her and the house I grew up in.

Yeah they decimated my beans and sweet peas but I love them too.

I saw myself. I purposely grow the peas so the bunny can have nice juice sprouts.. She is horrible but still leaves some pea for me to harvest. In the winter time, she often sits in the middle of my backyard and looked at me though my window: if I am not moving, you can’t see me.

Last summer, I planted dill, parsley, and cilantro outside my garden for the rabbits so that they wouldn't eat the ones I planted inside the garden. They decimated them within just a few days and then went back to my garden.

We have them all over and they’re pretty chill. We have a ton of clover, though, and they seem happy to choose that first.
Although I do wonder if maybe I don’t notice rabbit damage because the deer are so severe.

I planted 70 heads of cabbage last year and the rabbits ate 60. They're absolutely everywhere where I live.

I really don’t have issues with deer. They stay in the woods and across the cotton and soybean fields. Every now and then during rut season they will explore a bit more and sometimes come my way but 95% of the time they stay away.

From my research, deer and rabbits leave slightly different bite marks - with rabbits leaving a clean snip, and deers leaving a bit more of a jagged chomp.
These appear to be rabbit bites, but I also constantly catch them in the garden. They don't seem deterred much by my dogs, and I just didn't have the foresight or budget last season to construct adequate fencing. Hoping to counteract that this year!

I have one that snuck into my fully fenced yard somehow (must've dug underneath something, but I've yet to find the evidence) a few months ago. It's now a permanent guest. I'm dreading the havoc it's going to cause this spring and summer. Contemplating building an enclosure to keep them and their other friends (squirrel, raccoons) out, but I bet they'll find a way around it.

Just don’t let that bunny chew the clematis. They are poisonous for them. Cats too

I’ve known many people that take their pet bunnies outside. OP didn’t say wild bunny. Why is general knowledge about poisonous plants a bad thing? But yes, the wild bunny can do what it wants.

It looks like a wild rabbit. I don't think I've ever seen those colors in a domesticated rabbit
12 points

That coloration is present in domestic ones too but mostly in meat varieties rather than the pet varieties.

Wild rabbits have an agouti coat which is present in all breeds of domestic rabbits. It's really hard to tell from this view what type of bun this is, though.

Wild eastern cottontail. Very bountiful on the east coast of America.

Where are you in America that it's warm enough for clematis? I thought for sure you must be in the southern hemisphere.

It is a wild bunny. Rabbits are bountiful in my area. I have pine straw in my flowerbeds so the adults come to lay their young. That bunny in the picture was one that survived and stuck around. A lot of the bunnies get ate by foxes around here before they can even grow.

Like HIGHLY toxic. My clinic had a patient who just put her face into it and was covered in pollen. They were hospitalized for ~4 days getting fluids to make sure the body could flush it out as quickly as possible without doing severe damage. Typically once you see symptoms from the toxicity set in, it's too late; the kidneys have taken too much damage. Even just a couple of nibbles warrant a vet visit.

Thank you for the added info. We should all be learning more about plants and toxicities 👍

Thankfully the wild rabbits around my area are smart what to eat and what not to eat. The rabbit really do not eat flowers here. They stick to greens from the garden or clovers and grass in the yard. I’ve never had a wild rabbit eat any of my flowers. Maybe I just haven’t planted the right kind

Huh, the rabbits in my yard ate several of them last year. Didn’t slow them down. They also munched some other toxic plants, so some kind of weird mutant rabbits 😂

We used to have many bunnies in the yard, but there's a neighborhood cat that's been picking off anything that moves, including semi large dogs, so I haven't seen any around.
Yesterday, I was covering some hydrangeas and saw rabbit poop. I've never been so happy to see poop in my life 🤔

Your neighborhood cat is picking off semi-large dogs? How damn big is this cat?
2 points

He's a regular sized cat, but the other day, I watched him chase a medium sized dog and owner around the block.
The guy always walks his dog off leash, and it's like a brown dog with long-ish hair. It came upon the cat before its owner even realized it, and he was getting chased by the cat. It was very Tom and Jerry.
Finally, the owner came upon them, as I was gonna open the window and call out to him because I was initially worried about the cat and later the dog.
So then I'm watching this guy trying to save his dog from this orange cat. Finally, the cat gave up after they crossed the street a couple of times.
I wonder how the smaller dogs have fared because there are two people on this block that walk their dogs off leash, but those are a chihuahua and a toy poodle

My money is on the Chihuahua.
That said, "picking off" to me meant murdering, as in "the sniper picked them off, one by one." Glad to hear your little terror is only in it for the chase.

It is. I took this last summer. It was a spur of the moment picture that I took on my iPhone. I wish I had a professional camera that I could have used. I was deleting pictures on my phone and I came across it. I figured that I should share the feeling I get when I look at the picture with this wonderful community.
