There are squirrels running around my back yard. Something took close to 60 Jalepenos off my pepper plants a few weeks ago. I suspect it is a squirrel for those. Hope it is shooting out fireballs for a few days.! Didn't think that they would eat the leaf buds off my figs though. __________________ Hayward, CA 9B Own: Brown Turkey, White Kadota, Mission Black, Celeste, RdB, VdB, Hunt, Dominick, Strawberry Verte, LSU Scott's black, Brown Greek, Spanish Black Wishlist: Chicago Hardy, Desert King, Col de Dame Gris, any other favorites

Crap! That's the same thing happening to my cuttings in my shop that I just posted about. For me, it's a Norwegian rat...and I've declared war. __________________ Harvey - Correia Farms Isleton, CA (Sacramento County) USDA zone 9b, Sunset zone 14 http://www.figaholics.com https://www.facebook.com/Figaholics

Time to start trapping or otherwise eliminating squirrels now or there will be even more when the figs ripen. They WILL eat figs! __________________ Ed Zone 6A - Southwest PA --------------------------- Short wish list: CDDG, LSU Red, Dark Greek (Navid), Col Littman's Black Cross.

When I saw the cleanly snipped off shoot my first thought was deer although supposedly figs are not one of their favorite things. Maybe the deer are extra hungry where you are? __________________ Steve MD zone 7a

Critters! There are so many kinds, and they just don't stop! At least if you have roots, the cutting will bounce back, so you got hope. Fungus Gnats and Gophers are my worst enemy. Don't think we have rats, but not too confident about that. We do have voles, and every plant here has 2' of gopher wire surrounding it's trunk. They can't get through that, but voles AKA field mice love to eat bark. Good luck getting rid of whatever critter this is! Suzi __________________ Zone 9b, Southern California.

definitely not deer, (enclosed backyard). I'll look into squirrel protection. They are pretty sneaky and tease my dogs everyday. __________________ Hayward, CA 9B Own: Brown Turkey, White Kadota, Mission Black, Celeste, RdB, VdB, Hunt, Dominick, Strawberry Verte, LSU Scott's black, Brown Greek, Spanish Black Wishlist: Chicago Hardy, Desert King, Col de Dame Gris, any other favorites

In my yard in Hayward, I have deer, raccoons, squirrels, turkeys, possums, and even roof rats. They peel my oranges. They eat all the new growth on my roses. They eat the walnuts, leaving only the shells. I understand the deer don't like figs, but I wouldn't put it past them. __________________ USDA Zone 9b Wish list: Abruzzi, Pasquale, Tagliacozzo, Zingarella, Godfather.
