I believe I have a rabbit or something eating all the leaves off of my cucumber plants, will this hurt the plant bad and is there anything I could do to keep animals away?

It doesn’t smell good but desiccated fox urine is what I had to use when we lived in Texas because we had so many cottontail bunnies in our neighborhood. A little goes a LONG way.

I’m in TX too. And this/she may ‘look’ like she would deter rabbits….but she does not. She has SW Syndrome (Snow White Syndrome)…she welcomes all the critters to our yard/garden.  
So, I just plant more for all of them \& hope that I can get some for us. 🐇🐰🐿️🦅🦉🐦‍⬛🦊❤️🤦‍♀️🙄🤞🤣😂#feedtheworld

I saw somewhere that you can mix castor oil with water and spray it around the area you want to protect. It deters more than just rabbits
