You can also spray "liquid fence" but it does not have a pleasant smell.
Chemical repellents can be applied to some trees, vines, or other plants that are in danger from rabbits. But these can create an unpleasant odor, taste, or stickiness. Because of this, and their toxicity, most repellents are not suited for use on vegetables or other food plants, as they can make the plant inedible for humans. In addition, repellents often work only for a short time and need to be reapplied frequently. If you choose to use a repellent, carefully read and follow all label directions before use.
If a cat isn't an option, then you'd need some fencing.

I would try putting up fencing of some kind. If you have a dog or cat, you should let them spend some time in the yard to scare off any rabbits.

Keeping in mind that rabbits can burrow under fencing to get to food on the other side, the fence you install will have to be sunk deep below the surface of the ground to truly keep the rabbits out.

You need GARDEN fencing. They will squeeze thru anything else. Not expensive. Pound the metal stakes into the ground and attach the fencing on the nubs on the stakes. Home Depot sells it.
Remove whatever it is they’re eating and try some fencing. Try to avoid chemicals as they could be harmful to other things.
Hello,
You would need to bury fine netting down about 6 inches into your Garden boarders along the perimeter of your fence . It would need to be tall enough up the fence so they cant jump in too.
