We have been getting a lot of rain and wet weather. The slugs are really out in abundance. I went to check on my zukes and noticed that some of the leaves have been entirely chewed off. The stalks remain however. I see slugs in the general area, but can slugs eat an entire leaf and leave the stalk? I wouldn't think they would like to crawl up the prickly stalk. The zukes are still pretty much in the seedling stage. The secondary leaves are the ones which have been munched.

I thought it may be a rabbit, but wouldn't a rabbit just munch the entire plant and not be so selective? Any ideas?

I will try to get a photo uploaded, but please help. Thanks.
