Default Lemon and Lime Tree help

I have one lemon and one lime. I transplated them both last weekend.
Each tree had two fruits growing. Today I checked the trees and there
is a problem with the fruit. Each one looks like something is eating
the rind. I am not sure what it could be (birds or squirrels) The
trees are small and I do not think a squirrel can reach the fruit and
the tree can not hold them. Any suggestions on what I can do to
protect them? I was thinking of putting a net, simialr to the ones
used for tomoato plants, around them. Each tree only stands about 3 -
3 1/2 feet tall.
