| Something is bitting off my plants at the stem with a 45 degree angle, drops it and leaves. It's attacked columbines, tulips, onions, poppies, dames rocket,large sedum, pansies. Doesn't eat them just can drop the whole plant or just part of it. Leaves it in a pile next to or near by plant. Seems to happen in early morning? I see no tracts, droppings, evidence otherwise. It is going thru my plants fast!! I need some advice!! |

| If they're bitten at a 45 degree angle, most likely rabbits. This time of year the young sample and leave what they decide they don't like. tj |
