I need a scoop/rake to pick up rabbit poo out of our yard. My 9 &amp; 11 yr old dogs have suddenly started to eat it. Weird. Will this work?

This is an awesome product of good quality. However, it may be a big large for the rabbit droppings. The tension on it is very strong and for medium to large dogs it works great. I recommend getting something smaller but make sure it closes completely as the rabbit droppings may fall through.

i would safely say yes. I would also recommend that ideally you place an appropriate sized plastic bag over the jaws (i.e. place the pooper in the plastic bag), slightly open the jaws and tuck about an inch of the bag inside. Then you open the jaws over the "load" and when you release, if properly placed, you can pick up the load cleanly and completely. And I do agree it's the best one I've had so far.

We have mice in our basement, where the feeder is, and they haven't bothered it. As far as a dog throwing it, I'm not sure. It would be kind of awkward to pick up. Hope that helps.

I'm afraid I don't know the answer to this but I do seem to recall the brand provides a bait-station like option. Personally, I never opt to use anything that might put my pet in jeopardy. I noticed that when my beloved dog was alive (he was a rat terrier/chihuahua mix), he made life miserable for the squirrels and other rodents as well as possums. We didn't have as much as a problem when he was "on duty". One thing I want to bring to your attention, however, is that when the rodents nibbled on the bait, there would be crumbs all around which would concern me. As well, my husband pointed out that birds thought the bait was delicious. I have stopped using the bait but still thinking about my options. Good luck.

If it hasn't gotten rid of rabbits, chipmunks, and other rodents in my yard then I would have to say no, but who knows it may or may not work on groundhogs, good luck!

If the feces is above surface level it actually gets just above the surface quite well. Because I was picking up with dirt, leaves, and sticks on the ground. Although a rake and scoop pan might be the.Perfect partner to this with pea rock in the equation.

Don't do it. IF it manages to suck it up (A very big if!), you'll have finely chopped, fragrant fecal matter all over the impeller and coating the inside of the bag. You'll never get it or the smell out. Good news is, this product can't pick anything with any density up, so you don't have to worry about accidentally collecting any animal droppings. You'll be frustrated enough just trying to convince it to collect leaves!

I have a cat and a dog with long hair. I have had no problems with this picking up the hair or litter, but hair does build up on the red piece in the center of the cartridge. You will need to regularly clean this piece off for optimal performance.

haven't had this specific problem but it works for animals and rodents and is not harmful to them - I think I would try saturating the steps with the spray nozzle and make sure to repeat every four to six weeks or as needed until the little guy gets the idea. And, you could put some peanuts in the shell in another location and feed him so he has food. Sounds like he's hungry :) I would give this a try. Maybe bleach off the step first to get rid of any residue, make sure it is sealed and then spray it with the ropel. I should think it would work. It's the best we have found for deterring rodents.

no, no, no !!! doing so will let outside animals ( rats, other cats, even birds, etc...) eat too. just rethink it very closely. i use mine for two large dogs, inside of my house, and just love it!

We use a layer of litter called "Yesterday's News" on the bottom of the pan and put the grate over top of it, since everything just falls though the grate, the litter is just there to soak up the pee. You need the biggest one they have for rabbits, I got this one for my rats. It's not big enough for a rabbit.

I've been able to pick up some pretty small stuff, but I guess if your dog's poop is smaller than the distance between the wires, it wouldn't work as well.

My rabbit is larger than a guinea pig. I would guess so. My rabbit pulls it apart and flings poo everywhere.....

I have a small rabbit that barely fits this, and a slightly larger rabbit that it does not fit at all. I would go with a larger model if I were you. Personally I use a cat litter box called the lift n sift because it can hold hay while catching poop and pee and is very easy to clean. My buns had a habit of peeing on the floor next to their food.

I just use my dog's poo bags. Works great. I use 600 DOG PET WASTE Tie Handle CLEAN-UP POOP BAGS - BLUE + FREE LEASH CLIP by Downtown Pet Supply, bought on Amazon.

We have 2 rabbits and found that 10 lbs only lasted 1 month. We recently purchased a 70 lb box from amazon and it's been over a month for it. I separated it into 3 different boxes and we keep it aerated and so far no problems. I believe as long as it's free of moisture and stored allowing aeration it should be fine. My buns loved the hay and they wouldn't stop eating

Yes you could pick up Giaridia or worms in the yard, especially if animals defecate there. It will get on the outside of the ball.
