Default What's eating my strawberries?

Something is chewing on my strawberries. I have chicken wire cages
covering the plants so I don't think it's birds or groundhogs that are
doing the damage. I've also been spraying them with neem. Could my
problem be slugs?

I bought an iron phosphate slug killer and sprinkled it around the
garden, hopefully it will do the trick.
