Unwelcome Nighttime Visitors

A few days ago I went out to check on the state of things in the garden, and I was dismayed to find that something had not only been chomping on the leaves of my strawberry plants...



But had also gone fussing through my garlic....



And not only apparently ATE several garlic plants that had been in that muddy, track-marked spot above, but had also started to burrow there...



My guess is rabbit, especially as I know I have them in the yard. I poked around the fence some and I think I found the spot where they must have come in, some rabbit guard with about a two-inch gap between the bottom of the wire and the ground. I plugged it up and have gone around to inspect the fence perimeter. It all seems okay. There was no further damage the next night, so hopefully the buffet is now closed.
