What's eating mine??

Hi all.
I've notice a couple of my Hostas are getting eaten by something or someone. Any thoughts?
I got a rabbit, but I heard they don't eat Hostas. I don't see any other rodents running around. Still, , , My Orange Marmalade is looking like something likes it.

    Slugs eat holes and can be deterred by crushed egg shells or coffee grounds. Deer and rabbits like them too and chew off the upcoming plants.

    Slugs/Snails leave holes. Cut worms leave big holes or eat edges. From the photos I've seen deer eat whole leaves. I'm not sure about what rabbit damage looks like, but everyone who has rabbits in the area has a problem with them. I think they eat whole leaves, too. But, I'm not sure. Someone with experience will advise you. A photo would help as well.
