Not sure if its kangaroos, wombats or rabbits impacting the landscape?

Here’s some simple visual assessments you can do when you’re assessing a rabbit problem:

  • is there an increased  presence and spread of invasive weeds?
  • can you see rabbit dung piles?
  • can you see scratchings and soil disturbance?
  • are plants are pruned and cut at 45 degree angle?
  • is there distinct  ‘browse-lines’ on shrubs and foliage , typically 500 mm above the ground within reach of the rabbits
  • do you have warrens, ground openings for rabbits to shelter?
  • are your crops are eaten out  50 m from warrens?
