I've got some Sugar Baby melons, coming along fine.

Little chunks taken out of one or two - looked like there were
teeth marks. Some small rodent, maybe (?).

I realize that Sevin is an insecticide, but would a healthy
dusting maybe keep little rodents away, until I get fence up?

Sevin will probably be ignored by any rodent. Try getting some habanera
powder and dusting the melons. I did that with a pumpkin that the
squirrels were eating, and they stopped eating it until the hot pepper
got washed off by the rain.
