Leaves Of Cast Iron Plant Bitten Off At Stem.

Question

I have a huge area of Cast Iron plants. From the center of the bed, something is chewing off the leaves at the bottom of the stems close to the soil. In the middle of the planting bed, there are no leaves left. They are cut off at a slant. What could be doing this? The plants are being grown in the ground in North Texas.

Sounds like the work of a critter, possibly a rabbit. These articles may help:
