^ Related, more practical. Use an electric fencer with a wire just high enough that they'd rather creep under and touch the wire than jump over it. Probably more than half will sniff or paw at the wire first with obvious results. Probably keep those wascawwy wabbits out, too.
They make electric fence wire, steel, about 22 gauge, with little barbs on it, like real barbed wire, except these barbs are dull. Their purpose is to "comb" through the animals' hair and make a good contact.
Advice: don't screw around with jury-rigging a half-a$$ed fencing device. Get a real one from the hardware or feed store. You've spent $XXX.XX on garden tools, just consider a real fencer as another garden tool. Don't get a weed-burner type, as these might actually kill the little rascals, and weeding is something gardeners do anyhow, so you don't need one.
