When animals are hungry or thirsty enough, they'll eat just about anything. The only sure-fire prevention is a strong fence. However, Jeff Schalau, Yavapai County Cooperative Extension, has developed a list of plants that seem less tasty to the interesting, although sometimes destructive, creatures. You can download it at http://cals.arizona.edu/pubs/g.... Good luck!
