Carrot crunchers

What would eat carrots? Completely....well, the orange bit anyway, the heads are still there. It's obviously a large-ish animal as 2 troughs of carrots were upset and eaten as well as those in the ground. All the orange roots have been completely chomped away. Just 1 feed from them for me, several to robbers :-(

 

For all the carrots to be up-lifted my guess would be visiting rabbits!

 

If it were rabbits they wouldn't have left anything Apple Blossom.

The only thing I can think of that would have the strength to turn troughs are badgers or foxes. Were there any footprints left behind?

 

Not bugs then!

 

Rabbits will eat the tops rather than dig them out to eat the roots. In winter when there's no top growth they'll nibble the tops of the roots.

Badgers will dig up carrots.
