Planted some Canna Rhizome starts and something was eating the leaves and new sprouts. Does this look like rabbit damage?
I blocked any places that I thought rabbits could get in the yard, and sprayed with BT, and it has been a little better since then.

Something is also eating day lily sprouts, and recently ate a small sprout from a dahlia tuber. I have a lot of birds in my yard, including quail, and frequently see where they move the mulch away, but never seem to dig deep. Not sure if it could also be any kind of caterpillar/insect.

Let me know if you are able to tell or have any ideas.
