Got deer, woodchucks or rabbits in the neighborhood? One way to find out (sort of) is to stick a little wire cage over some of the plants. If they're still being eaten, it's not mammals.

Something is eating the leaves of my mixed hardy primrose plants. Can this be slugs or something else? I put out a beer trap yesterday just in case.

hmmm good idea, I will try the cage and see. Funny thing out of 15 plants they picked the runt of the litter to pick on. Might have been a rabbit. One was seen a few days ago roaming around the neighborhood looking for trouble.
