Do grasshoppers eat on the leaves? I have a collection of minis on my front pouch and I returned from a 2 week trip out West to find several with big chunks out of the leaves. Even a couple down to the stems. No sign of slugs tho. What should I do?

I was good and had a neighbor to water and check on my plants.

When deer eat they grab a leaf and twist it as they pull. You know it's deer if the leafs are shredded and broken or the top of the plant is missing entirely.

Rabbits nibble from the outer corner inward then leave the part of the leaf they don't eat untouched.

Inspected much holes here and there. Cater pillars, slugs, or grasshoppers,

Hmm, it looks like that but the big pot is on my front porch!! Very odd indeed. Some of the tiny minis leaves are so small to start with too Angry
