rhubarb eaten by insects

Question

After sowing and well watered and manured, I discovered leaves eaten. What causes this to happen?

Answer 1

Slugs, snails and beetles are typically the usually suspects. Snails and slugs typically come out at night so you may want to go out with a flashlight at nightfall and see if you can spot them. Deer and rabbits typically leave rhubarb alone unless they are desperate.
