The plants should be all right if they filled the one galloin container- the 
root system would have stored enough "food" to grow new shoots, they are 
tough little plants.

I cannot give a definitive answer on who/what eat your plants but if they 
were in my growing area here is how I would tell.

If the plants were eaten all the way to the ground with some of the plant 
even pulled up it was dear.

If the plants still have a few stems poking there way up out of the ground 
but had no leaves on them it was the woodchuck.
