Thank You
12 to 18 inches you might be safer from rabbits. They will snack on tomatoes if they can reach them when they start to turn red. I don't think rabbits are fond of eating tomato plants but they eat the small plants before they find out they don't like them.

If unfenced I use 12 inch diameter baskets made from poultry netting or hardware cloth to protect from rabbits.
