I planted a few melons on a nice topsoil hill on a sunny location. But, somehow, as soon as the seeds sprout, they are eaten by some disgusting animals. If, due to luck, the sporouted seed grows a little bit, those animals lose interest and the plant conrinues to grow. Any idea what I can do to stop it.

Sound like another attack of the dreaded melon collies!!!!
Put a cap of bird netting or hardware cloth over your seeds hills to exclude birds. They are my biggest problem when it comes to sprouting seeds.
*groan* That was BAD!
