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?

Could be a combination of critters, Pam. Could deer be around there
going for the corn?

Thanks for suggestions!
No deer or wild boar on the site. Not rats, mice, rabbits, or
squirrels. The plants were pulled down and mangled, the empty cobs
left lying.
We've had badgers before and I'd put my money on those. Just curious
to know if foxes would do it.
