Went to have a look at my Runner beans this morning and around 20 ft
of
them have been wiped out.
What I assume to be a squirrel has cropped them from around 6 inches
to
around 15 inches, also chewed the netting as well.
Also a few dwarf peas I'd sown have also been cleared almost to the
ground.
As there's electric netting around the patch I doubt it's rabbits.

A couple of rabbits got in before you installed the electric netting


The netting has been up for around 12 weeks now, I think I would have
seen
it as the ground was empty when I put the fence up.

I've never known squirrels to do this. My money is on still on a
couple
of rabbits that you missed.

About as likely as you not noticing a goat in your house for a couple of
months.

I still think it's unlikely to be squirrels that done it! Not that I like
them and could blame them for everything here but I think you are wrong.
I don't know if squirrels are even interested in cutting down runner beans.
I maintain that you have rabbits as the culprits.
