Hello yall I'm having some trouble with my seedlings being eaten or attacked by some kind of critter. What ever it was it ripped the leafs off of all 20 of my outdoor seedling overnight :( anyone have any experience with this problem? I know it wasn't an animal cause it was in a closed green house so it's gotta be some kind of bug??

no bugs eat leaves off of 20 seedlings over night. it has to be a big animal (compared to bugs), like a bird or rodent. or a bat faced cobra. i hear its cobra season. i hear mantis will fight cobras.you need lazer beams.

okay so I went out to look at the plants today and I saw that the other seedlings that are still alive that where left outside the green house where not disturbed , only the seedlings that where left inside where chopped . So I'm starting to think it might be cutworms or something

Mice are bastards. I had one dig up about $200 worth of seeds one night. I thought I'd be smart and put them in a closet in a little dirt and was oh so gentle dropping them in. Next morning all but 5 seeds were dug up and gone. Little rodent turds.
