Default Cumumbers not doing well

Hi,

I planted tomatoes and cucumbers this year and the tomatoes are doing
great but our cucumber plants are in very bad shape.

Something must be eating the leaves because they are picked clean to
the stem in most places. I really let it go too long but it happened
kind of fast. I'm thinking it must be an animal but I'm not sure. I
haven't seen anything eating the leaves but we have plenty of rabbits
around here. Would they eat cucumber leaves?

The chicken wire fence has a little opening they could get through so
I'm going to work on that today.

There's still a lot of flowers, but I don't know if I can save these
plants at this point.

I guess it could be bugs, but the tomatoes growing right next to the
cucumbers have no problems at all.

Would appreciate some advice here.

Thanks,
Steve
