I've had slugs on mine...Never noticed any other "creature" on them.

Deer certainly like them.

do you have rabbits? (We do and it's awful!)

Deer, rabbits, groundhogs.

Not sure what kind of nibbling we are talking about here but last year I planted Coneflowers and Black Eyed Susan for the first time. I then put down fresh wood chips. The chewing began immediately thereafter and I finally discovered it was earwigs. Since they predominantly are active at night apparently the only time I saw them was when I went in removed all the bark from one bed. Then they were everywhere.

Once I removed the bark problem was solved. I read that the bark creates a nice warm, moist environment to hang out in during the day.

Hope this helps.

groundhogs ate mine last year. :-(

Thanks everyone! I guess groundhogs seem like the most likely culprit. We have a family living under the shed and rabbits give our yard a wide berth because of our dog. Since they've been there since we've moved here, and the plants have been here as well, I didn't even think of them eating my plants. Funny that they didn't touch the other plants.
