Andy comments:

My solution seems to be working well, and I wanted to share it...

Last year, mice, or birds, got to my cantalope as it started to
ripen and pecked
holes in the side..... I got very little yield.....

This year, as soon as the fruit got to baseball size, I took the
WalMart plastic
bags that they put your groceries in, and wrapped the fruit...

I just carefully put the bag around the fruit, and tied it loosely,
giving plenty of
room for the fruit to grow.....

I am getting a good yield, and NONE of the wrapped fruits have
been attacked
by predators..... A couple of the fruits I missed have been eaten, as
in last year....

It seems to work......

Any comments or improvements that can be suggested ???
