I have two strawberry beds growing well. However I find that when I
pick the strawberries a few have chunks taken out of them and many many
many of the green strawberries have been disconnected at the stalk and
simply are found lying on the floor. They are not eaten simply cut or
dropped from the plant. Watering is not a problem.
I do have greyt squirrels raiding my birdtable


Does anyone know for sure what is damaging my stawberries and cutting
them off?


thanks

Squirrels. Ours do that and they do eat some of the green ones.
