I don't think I've seen this before. My tomatoes are getting big, but
still mostly hard and green. In the last couple mornings I've found
half-eaten tomatoes a few feet from the bushes.

We've got lots of squirrels, and a few raccoons and possums here.

No birds larged enough to carry a tomato.

Any ideas ?

I would vote for rats.


Interesting. I'm in a woodland area that hasn't changed much in a
decade, and there's never been a rat problem.


Does anyone have any suggestion for how to get a clue ?


perhaps put a tray of sand or something thicker by your plants to capture
paw prints?
