Yep, gophers (groundhogs etc) love to eat the leaves. They will chomp it off and there will be only the stem left. You can solve this with a chicken wire fence.
Gophers are herbivores and primarily feed on plant roots, tubers, and other underground plant parts. While parsley is not a common food source for gophers, they may eat parsley plants if no other preferred food sources are available. Gophers are known to sample a wide variety of plants, so it is possible for them to consume parsley, especially if they are hungry or if the parsley plant is easily accessible.
Parsley is a plant. Plants do not eat, they make their food from sunlight.
Gophers only eat plants and vegetables. They are herbivores.
Gophers are small animals. They like to eat plants, and this includes grass. They are also tunneling animals so they tend to ruin lawns by burrowing.
Gophers prefer to eat other plants than yarrow. Plant nurseries call it gopher resistant but not gopher proof.
Gophers can have a negative impact on plants by feeding on roots and vegetation, which can lead to stunted growth or even death of the plant. They can also create tunnel systems that disturb plant roots and soil structure. Overall, gophers are usually considered pests in gardens and agricultural fields.
Yes, gophers can eat the roots of camellias. These rodents are known for their burrowing habits and will dig up various plant roots, including those of ornamental plants like camellias, in search of food. Protecting the roots with barriers or traps can help prevent damage to these plants from gophers.
Yes, deer can eat parsley, as they are herbivores and will consume a variety of plants, including herbs. However, parsley is not a primary food source for them, and they may prefer other vegetation that is more abundant or nutritious. In gardens, parsley might attract deer, but it is typically not a favored food compared to other plants.
Gophers and moles are known to eat a variety of plants, but they typically do not target oleander roots specifically. Oleander is toxic to many animals, including rodents, which may deter them from consuming it. However, gophers are more likely to feed on roots of other plants and crops. Moles primarily eat insects and earthworms, so they wouldn’t be interested in oleander roots either.
Some fast-growing plants that rabbits can eat include clover, dandelion, and parsley.
gophers do not eat plastic for a living but they might eat plastic sometimes
Gophers are known to eat a variety of plant roots, and while they typically prefer more nutrient-rich plants, they may occasionally target bougainvillea roots if they are accessible. Bougainvillea plants are not a primary food source for gophers, but the roots can be consumed if other food options are scarce. It's best to protect bougainvillea plants with barriers or repellents if gopher activity is a concern in your garden.
