Rabbits

retired · 06-10-2026, 12:14 PM

When we built our house in Belmont in 1983 we had an abundance of rabbits in our woods. Of course they raided our vegetable garden. Over the years they disappeared, until this week. We have a resident adult Eastern Cottontail living nearby and feeding in our yard each morning. Has anyone else been seeing rabbits lately? Maybe they are making a comeback.

I'm in Meredith and have no grass so in the 12 years I've been there I've yet to see a rabbit.

We are in Moultonborough and have a small family of them. They are regular patrons of our garden.

Maybe you guys can get together with the fisher thread folks...

I'm sure they can get together on their own.
