My Friend has an allotment and his strawberries are going missing not only
the ripe ones but the green ones as well
They are been taken of at the stalk and taken away
could it be mice ?.
Has anyone some other explanation for this

Yes, mice eat strawberries, as do many other omnivorous animals commonly
encountered in gardens/allotments, and in my case it's blackbirds and
thrushes which have been the chief culprits this year - including tugging
away at immature fruits and pulling the whole bunch of berries off the
plant.

I suppose it's my fault for encouraging them into my garden, and not putting
up a net to keep them off.
