That is a bummer, but like socks said... it was just the bloom! Glad it didn't take a chunk out of the rosette!

Good day for the bird!! : )

The bird ate the bloom part, and some of its leaves...that’s why it looks so sad.

It will recover !:) Hopefully, bird like the taste...Are you sure it was a bird?

I had chipmunk (little cutie unless it is messing with plants!) stealing one of my Lithops just 2 days ago!!! It left just empty depression in the mix, and so far I didn't find plant anywhere. I think it wanted to punish me for chasing him away from my succulents...-:(

rina_Ontario,Canada I've had birds eat leaves off my other succulents cause i put them on my AC unit outside my window and I live on the second floor. However this plant was on the steps when part of it went missing so very well could have been a squirrel or chipmunk ): hopefully it grows back, I loved my little blooms

Don't know what steps (fire escape? or stairwell?). If other ppl have access to same area, maybe someone broke it...don't want to say that's what happened, but anything is possible. By accident, or on purpose. I have few old bird cages (removed bottom) that I put over plants that seem to be attracting too much bird/squirrel/chipmunk attention! (Lithops went under one of them!)

You may have to wait until next year for blooms, but hope you enjoy the plant in the meantime :)
