rabbit friendly lawn feed

Hi, I have two pet rabbits which have full access to my garden during the day and a son who likes to play football. Between them they have completely ruined the lawn - there are bare patches where my son plays football and the rabbits have just eaten the rest, there are also some patches of moss. I have thoroughly raked the lawn to get rid of the dead grass and the moss. Can anyone please advise me on what I can do to help the grass grow that will not poison the rabbits once they eat it. I am able to keep them off the grass for a while (they have an outdoor pen). Thanks. Joc.

 

Welcome to Gardeners Corner

Soak the rabbit poo in a bucket of water for a week and use that as a feed

 

That would please my son but I don't think the rabbits would enjoy it!

 

Thanks I will try that. There's normally poo all over the garden anyway so i'll collect it up and put it to soak.

 

They eat there own poo to digest the celulose so it shouldn't do them any harm. Let your boy have a whiff of it and threaten to soak his football boots in it if the lawn gets damaged again
