Facts & Information
What are Rabbits?
The Eastern cottontail rabbit is the most common rabbit species in Wisconsin. They have brown to grey fur with long ears and a short, fluffy, white tail that resembles a cotton ball. We will never have a shortage of rabbits because they breed multiple times a year and produce large litter sizes. Rabbits love to eat anything green. The Eastern cottontail rabbit is about one foot in length and weighs around 1-3 pounds.
Why Do I Have Them?
Rabbits will often enter properties looking for food and shelter. Gardens, flowers, and abundant vegetation will attract rabbits onto your property. Rabbits will eat all sorts of plants. If not controlled, a family of rabbits can cause significant damage to your property’s landscaping and gardens. Wild rabbits also carry ticks and fleas.
