Default Badgers or foxes?

In message , Pam Moore

A couple of weeks ago I reported that badgers had eaten my sweetcorn.
Today somebody on the allotments said it was not badgers but foxes.
He had not seen them but thought that the signs he had seen indicated
foxes.
Do foxes eat sweetcorn? I thought they are carnivores. We've had the
same thing happen before with sweetcorn. This year and last the
carrots were also eaten. Carrots and sweetcorn, on most allotments.
Badgers or foxes?

On the local allotment it is squirrels that are blamed for eating
sweetcorn. The proposed solution is to grown squashes round them - that
is supposed to deter the squirrels.
