I applaud your use of fencing rather than traps. I hope it works well for you. I hate hearing all of these pejorative terms for animals that have every right to live, and which, in my opinion, enhance our lives, not diminish them. It's up to us humans, with our supposedly superior brains, to figure out ways to live in harmony with them while also protecting our crops and property.

How do you protect your crops? Always up for some non-lethal ideas. (Transporting them to someone else's farm doesn't count. )

I've never had a garden ever since I failed miserably with my first garden.

I didn't have to contend with any bunnies eating my plants.

That being said, would chicken 🐔 wire panels be used to fence in the garden to keep them out if you could also take precautions to keep them from digging?

Do you know why chicken coops have 2 doors???

If they had 4 doors, they would be chicken sedans.

You must garden again!! 👍Start small and be ready to plant more than once.

The little animals will wiggle under the chicken wire. Some people bury the lower part of the fence down into the ground, but it breaks down pretty fast and makes a mess. Raised beds and chicken wire will work. Electric fence is cheapest, mobile and adaptable. The varmints hate it but it doesn't kill them.
