What’s eating my onion tops?

[Swag]

Hello
I’ve got lots of onions, shallots and garlic planted at the allotment complete with a net covered frame over them. Somehow something is eating the tops of some.
I can’t see any way in but I presume they might be able to wriggle underneath ?

Is it mice?

I have had onions munched by mice when in storage but never known them to eat the tops. However, when hungry most wild beasties will eat anything to survive over the winter months and that includes green tops on onions and garlic. Could also be slug or snail damage of course.

I think it might be slugs or tiny snails,you could put a little beer in an container sunk in the ground with an inch of rim above ground incase an insect falls in,put a couple of stones around to balance a roof incase it rains,the next day there should be slugs in there.

Probably those tiny pesky snails.
