Answered

Something is also eating chunks out of my avocado seeds that I planted as well... I assume it's a rabbit, squirrel, or raccoon, but does anyone know what I can do about it? Thanks!

I don't know what on earth will deter something that is so determined to munch on your plants that it will eat these! We planted ornamental chillies once as we thought they might be the only thing that possums would not destroy and eat and they eat the chillies and the whole plant down to a stump! Maybe they don't have any taste buds! LOL!

I have no idea what could be eating these peppers, but approach whatever it is with caution! They are (1) either tough enough to eat peppers, or (2) angry with you because it is not a tomato! So watch out!

  @Jeanette S You made me laugh out loud with this one. Perhaps you can put out some margaritas and drug them into submission!

Try wolf or coyote urine… a natural predator to those critters you mentioned. A google search shows where to purchase and how to use. Good Luck!
