Gina, that was roughly six years ago. Like most family issues, it's complicated. But we have worked it out and as best I can I have moved on.
Sorry to hear about critter problem. Sounds like you need a either a rabbit proof fence or an electric fence. There are some very inexpensive electric fence systems. They are also safe for children and animals. Yes, it will give a child a little jolt. But they are not capable of doing any real harm.
