Sutty Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 It is leaving just the stalks so it looks like a 8-10 inch stick is left. Is this some kind of worm (cut worm) or is it a rabbit getting inside my fence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KEN W Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Not cutworms.....they eat through the stalk at ground level not the leaves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quetico Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 I've had deer problems with tomatoes. They eat from the top down. If its a tall plant eaten all the way from top to bottom its probably deer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dotch Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 I've had bunny problems a few times over the years that looked similar to what you described. Put up my chicken wire fence making sure it was fastened down so they couldn't crawl under and no more problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FRESHWATER PETIE Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 It could be birds? I have had them chew at some small tree seedlings before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutty Posted June 23, 2008 Author Share Posted June 23, 2008 After a few fence repairs they seem to be doing better, I think it was little bunnies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dotch Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Lotsa bunny pressure out there this year. My sugar snap peas and string beans were also brutalized. Good to hear you've figured them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
