In an open field for a greenhouse growing operation some type of critter has chewed on the plastic watering lines. Any idea on what may be doing this? Farmer thinks it could be coyotes, but there are all types of small critters in the area. Any ideas? I am going out tomorrow to inspect.

Have the same thing in my barn. Likely squirrels chewing the crap out of plastic gas cans, have ruined 4 so far.

Years ago i had problems with chipmunks and squirrels, small teeth marks, chewing on plastic spring water lines. Found out that you could not touch the pipe with bare hands, had to ware gloves. They were after the salt left from skin on the pipe.
I replaced a old line that had been in service for years with no problems until it froze and split. Rolled out a new one with bare hands and that one did not last a week. Bought a new roll and pressure washed it real good and rolled that one out with gloves, no problems after that. Just my experience. Dave

Animals with pronounced canine teeth (canids, felines, carnivores) will probably dimple the line (or puncture it) with their canines. Rodents generally leave grooves in correlation to the size of their incisors.

Being from Wisconsin, the only thing I would be interested in is, how does a javelina taste on a spit over charcoal.
My dad once lost a hog that broke out of a fence. Before he could locate it, the local bartender had a message for him. It read something like this: "Carl, you raise the best tasting hogs in the county. If any more get out, let us know. signed, Your Neighbors."
