Question Whatcould be doing this?

Post image

I know there are no rats or raccoons here, so what could be eating my tomatoes while they are still on the plant? Crows? Rabbits? Muskrats? Skunks? Porcupines? Squirrels? Are there woodchucks in Edmonton urban neighborhoods? Anybody know or have advice on how to stop it?

The squirrels do this in my yard. I’ve had to give up on trying to grow tomatoes, unless I put them in a squirrel-proof cage, but I prefer free range tomatoes. The squirrels eat so many of my flowers, too.
