Been looking for a new house for months.
I liked the place I went to today, but the vendor told me there are lots of wild rabbits in the garden. It’s very rural.
Actually, he didn’t need to tell me. The evidence was all over the garden!
Every step I took on the grass, it sunk in, so there must be lots of rabbit warrens underneath.

Is this a concern? Could they get under the house and damage the foundations?
Thanks.

Bigbad doesn't want to kill the rabbits, dunnitall and hereIAm. She's just worried they might damage the foundation of the house.

Thank you Cloverjo.
dunnitall and hereIam - Why not try reading the posts properly - I never once mentioned killing the rabbits I merely asked if the warrens underneath the grass would be a problem.
Jeez - I’m not some sort of rabbit serial killer!

I had a call from the agent yesterday.
Said I liked the property, could see the potential, but because of the spongy grass and poo, won’t be pursuing it any further.
Calm down Bigbad, my comment was in response to the many on here who did want them dead or eaten!! Jeez .....

Also same comment to you Cloverjo !

Calm down hereIam.
dunnitall said “Leave well alone if you are not animal friendly....find a other place that doesn't have wild life messing with you.”
To which you replied “snap”

If you want it to be clear who you are addressing, then use their user name.
What a lovely problem to have...

Not going to be my problem, scooping.
I rejected the house because of it.
Question Author
You used to post often in news, scooping.
Don't see much of you these days.
Good luck in your re-joined search - I know just how frustrating it can be - but you are right with the rabbit house, if something bothers you about a place it's fatal to go ahead in false hope. I did that once and ended up regretting it, but luckily I moved again within a few years and got a fair price on the sale.

Thank you, Canary.
I sold up and moved out last September, and decided to rent rather than rush and buy an ’it’ll do.’

So far it’s either been right house, wrong location or wrong house, right location.
Only 2 the that I’ve really liked - rabbit garden, and one that had a hideous corrugated tin farm building right in front of the kitchen window.

It seems to be taking ages, but I’m determined to get it right!
Bigbad Do not tell me how to post, I say again calm down !!
Go on, be my guest, have the last word, I won't be back on this thread.
All I said was if you fear the problem with rabbits then don't touch! I didn't say you or anyone else wanted to kill them Bigbad.... It was my opinion in an answer to your post. If you didn't like it...do one! I'm annoyed that my answer was misconstrued and no apology given.
Good luck with finding the right place, it isn't always easy.

We once stayed in a cottage in the grounds of a grand house - the lawns resembled Watership Down territory at times there were so may gorgeous rabbits. But what's great for a holiday may become tedious full time.
Question Author
OK, hereIam -bye!

dunnitall.
I have no intention of “doing one” particularly from my own thread.
Nor would I expect an apology from one of AB’s ruder posters.

Although your second post was “friendlier” your first was jabbing a pointy finger-ly nasty.
Why can’t people on here give conflicting opinions without resorting to unpleasantness?

Just for the record, my last house was very rural, I had all sorts in the garden - squirrels, pheasants, muntjac, magpies, jays, woodpeckers and lots of small garden birds.
I spent a small fortune feeding them all.
I only ever had a couple of rabbits in the 10 years I lived there, and even started a thread about one I was concerned for.

Ok Bigbad.... Nowt I can do...you are your own master. I was NOT against you..... I am animal friendly...I did NOT WANT TO BE SEEN as against you and misconstrued? Yeh I have been.... And as you desire..you have your own agenda. Nowt against you mate... But I detest being labelled summat I am NOT. Wish you well AND THE STRAPPING RABBITS poor gits.
Question Author
Why are the rabbits poor gits?
Poor gits cos they are animals. That's all. We have ..well we hope the intelligence to know right from wrong... Animals can only go by instinct... Yet we feel THEY are wrong FGS... Pls get a life and know...accept animals feature in this life....poor *** x
I fear this is a misunderstanding cul-de-sac from which there is no return Bigbad - if I were you I'd leave it there.
Question Author
I think I will, Mamylynne.
dunnitall’s rude ramblings are becoming more incoherent.
Obviously, there is only one true animal lover on this thread.
Maybe a plague of rats in the loft with the stench of rotting rat corpse for weeks would calm him down.
I should know - been there, dunnitall and bought the t- shirt!
Thanks to all the non-arsey contributors on this thread.
