Other pests of crops

There are several mammals which can cause damage to crops. Rabbits and deer can be very serious pests they eat many growing crops, particularly young cereals. Mice and rats can eat and damage both growing and stored crops. 

The harmless mammals, as far as crops are concerned, are hedgehogs which eat insects and slugs, foxes which kill rats and rabbits and squirrels which eat pigeons eggs.
