Nocturnal Leaf Eaters on Green Beans: Slugs, Rabbits, or Frogs?

Fenced garden, beans and cauliflower chewed to 1–2 inch stumps at night. No mice in traps. Not deer/rabbits (per owner). Green tree frogs present but unlikely culprits.

Diagnosis: flashlight check at night. Slugs leave slime, work fast, leave only stems. Rabbits eat cleanly at 45° angle; if fence has gaps, they're suspects. Frogs eat insects, not plants.

Action: night patrol for slugs (salt/Sluggo). If none, inspect fence base for rabbit entry. Row covers protect young beans until established.
