Are you wondering if rabbits eat zucchini? In this post, we talk about that.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Y<\/span>ou wake up and head outside to check on your vegetable garden. Make sure everything is just right where you left it. Still growing inch by inch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you gain sight of your garden you see a rabbit running away. Now you’re nervous. You rush to check on all of your vegetables and see that a portion of your zucchini plants is just gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eaten by what? Do rabbits eat zucchini plants? Can Rabbits eat zucchini?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They look like they just disappeared. Not eaten. You look closely to try and see bite marks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

None<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They’re just gone. They disappeared. Surely if rabbits or something else were eating them there would be some kind of bite marks or something that would tell me for sure if they are being eaten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You rush to your computer for a quick google search and find this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To answer your question, do rabbits eat zucchini?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, rabbits do and will eat your zucchini plants. That goes for butternut squash as well. When they are about 2 to 4 inches long, they tend to eat them all the way down to the stem of the plants. Rabbits can eat the majority of plants in the squash family. Zucchini and butternut squash are fair game.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Squirrels tend to take the plants and run away with them as opposed to eating them on site. They would take them up a tree and eat parts of them before dropping them. If it was a squirrel, the scene would appear different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
