In the past few days, I have noticed my backyard garden
has been invaded by an unknown predator. Right now
I am growing beans. I have noticed that
any leaves or branches within 1 foot or so
from the ground are practically gone or destroyed.

I would like to get some advises from your
experts in this forum what I should do to prevent
further problem. I am suspecting a rabbit ? but
may be not. I am almost certain that
it happens at night time. BTW, I live in Dallas, TX
area.

Night and low to the ground does indeed sound like
rabbits. A 2 foot fence (with openings less than 1 inch)
should keep them out.

Groundhogs feed during the day. Around here they get up
early in the morning, rest somewhere during the middle of
the day (often in less elaborate burrows) and 4-6pm is a prime
dining period.

Deer feed at night but would browse much higher.
