I had a plant that got nibbled on by a rodent like this. The plant seemed to do just fine, but I had to make sure it couldn't happen again. Get some chicken wire or simething and wrap the stem up to protect it.

Chicken wire will do the trick... Just make sure that you have it flush to the ground. You can even bend the tippity-top of the wires out & downwards; that'll keep critters from trying to go over your "fence"... And peeing in the vicinity of your plants (but not TOO close) might ward away some animals. Happy growing!

yeah you need to build like a wall around it. Whatever is eating yours is probably fairly large like a squirrel or a rabbit or a gopher IDK.

What's with the bloody milk man? Get some fine mesh and run it round the plant about six inches away from the stem - and get a mouse trap for good measure - I had a hamster and it would have loved your climbing frame.

I have used a plastic soda bottle split and zip tied around the stock that seemed to work good for smaller pest but those dam squirrels can go to the top if they want .
