Exterminate Pest Control receives lots of calls about wild rabbits. Wild Rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) were brought to Ireland from Spain and France by the Normans in the 12th century. Originally kept in captivity as a source of food and fur, many escaped and their increasing numbers meant that farming them wasn’t an option. Famously fast breeders, the diet of the wild rabbit consists of most vegetable matter and as their natural predators were frequently hunted by man, they were quickly able to thrive.
If you are a farmer or small land owner, you will know you have rabbits due to the damage they cause to ground level vegetation. Rabbits will eat seedlings and graze on young trees as well as stripping bark from older trees up to half a metre from the ground. You know when a rabbit has chewed plants and stems as they leave a sharply-angled cut made by their characteristic incisors. You may see rabbits grazing or they will leave evidence of their presence with a series of coarse, circular faecal pellets. Rabbits create networks of tunnels (a warren) for sheltering during the day as they mainly come out to feed at night or very early morning.
