What's eating our rhubarb??

We're starting to eat the first of our rhubarb and very good it is.
But
we suddenly have a problem. I went out this morning to find that a
lot
of the larger younger leaves have been stripped right down to the main
veins, leaving just a ragged skeleton. No holes in the leaves, just
the
leaves chewed right back. I I didn't think anything ate rhubarb
leaves,
given that they're known to be poisonous. Has anybody any idea who or
what the culprits might be?
Thanks
Susie

Snails and slugs love rhubarb. I suggest you pay a visit after dark in
order to confirm or disprove this theory.
