Rabbit Fence Update

After socializing (I know! so lovely after months of quarantining!), I learned that rabbits have been eating everything everywhere this year, even in areas where they haven't been a problem. Could it be a mild winter along with a drought? I'm not sure. In my yard, I have bunny food--a large patch of clover (which shows signs of being eaten) and grass (or had grass since it's looking dormant and perhaps dead). My lovely husband and I dug holes in dry, gritty, compacted soil for these U shaped stakes. Once in place, we hung poultry fence. This is flexible green vinyl with 3/4 inch openings. These baby bunnies are tiny, so I went for the smallest openings. At ground level, we bent the fencing out, which is supposed to prevent the rabbits from sneaking under. The "gate" (below) is the fence wrapped around a green garden pole. I align the pole with the U stake and attach it with a blue hair band. The bottom of the "gate" is attached with clothes pins. I don't want any gaps.  I bend the fencing when I go in and out. The result? No new nibbling!
