Simple. House your rabbit indoors. Rabbits should not live outside as it is. They are meant to be house pets, a part of the family. A house rabbit lives several years longer than an outdoor rabbit.
Try going to www.cavycages.com to see some great INDOOR cages you can make for rabbits (go to photo galleries and look under ';cages for other pets';).A pesky squirrel entering into the my pet rabbit's cage and is eating his food, what can I do to stop this?
Get a different cage.
For starters, how can you call a rabbit a pet when you are keeping it outside? Pets are meant to be indoors! If you really want to keep the squirrel away from the rabbit food, bring the rabbit inside.
However, if you really must keep the rabbit outside, please read the words that follow: The squirrel is not a pest. He/She is just filling the void in its stomach. What harm has been done anyway? If the rabbit wants to have a squirrel over for dinner, let him!
Go to your local farm store and purchase a roll of chicken wire, cover your rabbits cage and be sure to not leave any spot uncovered. This will prevent him from fitting in the cage. If you haven't already, you should be sure your feed is stored in a medal container or somewhere the pests can not get into the bag. Just a suggestion in Case it was overlooked.
shoo him away
So what would be wrong with giving the squirell a little food too? They are great animals, and they become friendly to you when they are fed a little!
get a different cage, that wont allow a squirrel to fit in the holes
