Hi all. Over the recent winter months I have noticed a pair of rabbits periodically coming into the garden and eating some of the lawn. At first, it did not seem like a problem as it was very mild. Of late, their frequency in visiting has stepped up a lot; i.e. few times a day now. Their warren appears to not be on my property but I suspect is nearby.
Today I was out doing some gardening and noticed how severe the rabbit grazing damage has become. I seeded all the patches in fall, and conditioned the whole lawn – it was in a great uniform health. Now it looks really patchy on the sides, like the rabbits are eating from the outside into the middle.
I am now actively trying to prevent their entry into the garden (this is going to be challenging), but how can I recover/help the lawn itself with care between now and the spring? (in a northern California locale). Appreciate any advice!

Rabbits are cute. Put some clover in areas where they eat. They’ll eat the clover and it grows back super quick assuming you can keep some water on it.
The grass will bounce back too once it warms up. They’re just eating what you can see and fertilizing
