What is eating my avocado?

Just that. Came down this morning to find a biggish hole drilled in my avocado and a little pile of debris. No mouse droppings.

(I mean your avocado being chewed is annoying, not someone’s house burning down thanks to a squirrel).

Could it be slugs I sometimes come down in the morning to a slug on my kitchen floor
I don’t know how they get in.
I don’t even know if they can climb up onto a counter as I’ve never had anything eaten into. Just throwing an option out there. 🐌🐌🐌

Throw it out and keep any avocados in the fridge.
Much nicer cold too.

Not if they are ripen at home. I eat one every day as I use them instead of butter on my sandwich, just love them, but have never had a problem. I keep them in my cupboard until they are just ripe then the fridge.

The ones we buy are are sometimes not ripe and do need to be kept in the fruit bowl, not the fridge where they won't ripen.
Once ripe, store in the fridge.
