Rabbits dine out all year.
They are herbivores and can make a quick meal of your garden.
They will devour tender shoots in spring and gnaw through bark in the winter.

Rabbits have large incisors, similar to squirrels and mice.
But rabbits have two pairs of both upper and lower incisors, while rodents have only one set.
(Rabbits are lagomorphs, not rodents.)
