Activity 125 lbs. A good physical activity program includes strength training with weights, along with other moderate activity. Strength training helps muscles stablilize bones, and reduces the number of falls experienced by older adults. Rabbits, meadow mice, and voles can do a lot of damage to fruit trees and landscape plants. Mice eat the bark of the trunk and roots both above and below ground level.
Voles nest underground, eating bark from the roots near the surface.
Rabbits girdle trunks and branches. The following control procedures are offered as suggestions to help reduce the potential for damage. Set the guards about two to three inches in the ground at the base of the trunk or around the crown of the plant. Extend the wire up at least 18 inches above the ground. In areas where snowdrifts develop, the wire guards will need to be extended up even higher.
