Only it wasn't just a few bunnies - it was dozens of the dear little critters - they ate all my parsley (planted just outside the kitchen door) and decimated the lower plants in my (home made) strawberry barrel. I could only grow veg in a rabbit-proof enclosure - but that didn't stop the field rats from eating all my root veg, nor the magpies from nibbling my sweetcorn and ignoring the adjacent field of cattle corn.

Good luck!
The ferreters didn't help - there were too many holes in too many earth banks. The cat didn't help much, although she did bring one live bunny in through the cat flap at dinner time one evening! Lead pellets lost their efficacy due to distance - so our neighbours lost their free food
The only thing that helped drastically reduce the rabbit population was an outbreak of mixamytosis - it was horrible to see badly infected bunnies staggering about. They didn't deserve that slow lingering death.
Jemima, if you know where the entrance holes are, you could try placing some lion poo just there. It should put the rabbits off, and make them think there's a large predator about, so they need to move house
