In my chicken coop
my peppers and eggplant have been attacked!

it (or they) took one bite (or maybe 100) out of a pepper during the night,
(the next day) fed my bunny sonny and checked the garden and..... BAM! the whole pepper was gone,
if you have any ideas what the culprit might be please TELL ME!!!!!

i will update this when i am not sugar high and fix all the CrAzY stuff

bird
insect
slug
big animal (such a a dog)
small animal (such as a rabbit)
be ALL of these
or none of these

I'm thinking animal.

An animal that likes Peppers but not Tomatoes.

I think it'll be back.

Make a list of all animals in your area that might have access to your garden tame and wild. Start with small critters, mice, voles, and work your way up.

Then, some could be removed from the list as cleared suspects. For example, moles don't usually eat plant material.

You could ask around your neighborhood.

Probably wouldn't have been a rabbit with you outside and nearby. Have to be something smaller and sneakier, like a vole or chipmunk.
