| I'd guess raccoons. Can you move them inside at night? |

| Squirrels get to all the pumpkins around here sooner or later. I have little pumpkins sitting on my fence posts. I sprayed them with scented floor cleaner to discourage the squirrels. I hope they last until Halloween. In the end I let the squirrels have them. |

| I would guess that it is coons,also. Altho I don't have many squirrels around here, even with a woods nearby, so can't relate. Plenty of chipmunks. If I saw my pumpkins with big chunks eaten out I'd be upset too! |
