tomato

Question

Something is eating my nearly ripe tomatoes at night. There appear to be claw marks below bite marks, as if critter is holding while eating. Tried securing bird netting around plants but still got through. Able to squeeze through overlapping fence slats too. Any idea what it could be and how to deter? Thank you.

Answer 1

Squirrels, chipmunks, mice even deer can be dining on your tomatoes.
