    Hi, I've got strawberries putting up new growth at the moment and something if putting holes in leaves, both old and new !? They look a right mess ! I havn't seen a single slug so I'm inclined to rule them out, for now. Are there any insects/flies around at the moment that could be eating them ?

    Rabbits eat them, but they tend to gnaw them flush with the ground rather than nibble chunks out of leaves.

      Yes, I would expect to see not much left if rabbits were involved. And the strawberries are next to some nice veggies that are untouched as yet.
