Unwanted guest...

This morning I saw a rabbit scampering about on my lawn. I've seen it a few time in the past week or so.
What I'm wondering is: Will it do any harm to my plants - Should I discourage it?

How do I discourage it? I don't want to kill/trap the poor thing. It looks so happy.

What would you do?

He's welcome to it Susie. I don't want it nibbling my plants - especially the 2 dozen young geranium plants I've just put out.

They eat grass so you may never have to mow the lawn again.

If you have any herbs he will eat the Parsley first and they don't eat grass by the way but if you have dandelions in the lawn he will trim them up.
