Hello, hoping you can help me with the gardening issue. I found this morning a whole borrowed in my cucumber bad. I have a fence around it so I’m not sure if somethings squeezed through her hopped over? The whole is about 3 inches in diameter. I’m sure it will ruin my cucumber plants if I don’t get it out. Can you tell me what would do this, and what should I do? I need help! Thank you.

Hole not whole
Bed not bad
*something squeezed thought the hole or hopped over
This is embarrassing! :(
