Default squirrel took a chunk out of my cantalope.

A squirrel took a chunk out of my cantaloupe.

About the size of a nickel. and half a nickel deep.

Cantaloupe is 4 inches round. '

Does that mean its going to rot out or something.

Or will it be alright. And I can leave it cut the section out when its
bigger.

Thanks

Diesel.

Bacteria will probably rot it. I suggest Chicken wire next time.

Cheers

Leave it on the vine, sometimes they will heal over the damaged area and
just leave a scar.
