Default What Animal Will Eat The Tops Off Onion Plants?

EVP MAN wrote:
My neighbor planted some spring onion sets in his garden last week and
told me that something chewed the tops off of two rows. We live in town
and have rabbits, squirrels and every once in awhile a possum passes
through. I'm about to plant my own onion sets this coming week and this
has me a bit concerned. Does anyone know of any animal that will bother
onions???

Mine don't have tops yet; I just planted them a couple of days ago,
very shallowly with the tips of the bulbs sticking out of the
ground. Something dug most of them up and scattered them about last
night. (I bet it was a squirrel.)
