My daughter planted a garden and everything was going fine until something decided to chew the cornstalks off about 10 to 12 inches above the ground.

Is this a rabbit or what?

Deer will leave jagged edges and rabbits will leave a diagonal cut.

When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.

Thanks Newt. It appears to be a rabbit. I gave her some stuff that is supposed to keep rabbits & dogs out of the garden. Will let you know if it works.

Jonesboy, you are very welcome! Here's more ideas if what you found doesn't work for you and your daughter. From what I've heard and read, a rabbit fence is the best way to go.
