Rabbits are game animals and protected by state laws. Trapping rabbits is usually not a good solution to the problem since another rabbit will often replace it and relocating rabbits may create problems for someone else. Refer to OSU Extension Fact Sheet 1031-96, Controlling Rabbits in the Landscape , for more information. Squirrels Squirrels were reported nipping short tips off evergreens such as Norway spruce and firs during late April. This behavior may be associated with a gnawing need to wear down their growing front incisors.
