Do deer bite green tomatoes?
I'm having fun this year trying to figure out three new pests; deer,
chipmunks, and Japanese beetles. The deer seem to be chomping on the tops of the tomato plants but prefer hostas. The chipmunk seem to be biting on the young squash plants (unless a baby rabbit is sneaking in through the fence). The Japanese beetles seem to be munching on the wild grape leaves and a few of my trees. They also seem to want to buzz around you. Something is biting the sides off the green tomatoes. Wouldn't a deer take the whole tomato? |

Wouldn't a deer take the whole tomato? Maybe. Our deer like to sample things to be sure they like them. We also caught squirrels nibbling on the tomatoes and one squirrel was even hiding the half eaten tomatoes he had stolen on our bbq. marcella |
