Rabbits: A million holes in one

Rabbits: A million holes in one Newsroom 8 hrs ago © Provided by Newsroom It’s no secret the rabbit population is taking off - again - in Central Otago and Southland, with some landowners struggling to keep their numbers down. But are government departments the worst offenders? It’s a catchcry all over the rabbit-infested regions of Otago and Southland - that public spaces are to blame for the recent explosion in numbers. Individual landowners are responsible for keeping their rabbit populations down, but Crown-owned areas are being accused of letting their numbers spiral out of control. Parks, gardens, lakefronts, bike tracks: they’re all overrun, and provide the ideal breeding ground for rabbits, who then hop and dig their way onto neighbouring private properties and businesses, destroying the landscape with holes, eating all the vegetation, leaving their urine and droppings everywhere, and attracting predators.

Rabbits: A town over-run

Rabbits: A town over-run © Provided by Newsroom A small South Island town is under siege from a plague of rabbits that has taken up residence over the entire area The seaside village of Mōeraki in North Otago paints a pretty picture from a distance but up close, under the buildings, on the hills and along roadsides, things quickly get less attractive. The place is infested with thousands of rabbits and residents are fighting a losing battle. “They’re living under houses, they’re living under trailers, water tanks, boats, they’re literally everywhere. It’s ridiculous,” says local resident Ross Kean.

Rabbits march on Queenstown

Rabbits march on Queenstown © Provided by Newsroom Watch: Part 2 - A new breed of rabbit has arrived on the scene in Central Otago: the ‘lifestyle rabbit’. With the growth in new multimillion homes and subdivisions comes a headache for landowners. Ihug co-founder Tim Wood now avoids some parts of his 10-acre rural Wakatipu idyll because it’s too depressing to see his plantings and landscaping trashed by rabbits yet again. “It looks beautiful from a distance, but when you get up close, it’s an absolute ecological disaster. It’s out of control. We’re back at the late eighties and early nineties sort of stage of how bad it is.”
