Re: No one answered but some one knows...

 Kathie......was the eaten part rough or smooth? Sometimes slugs will do a 
number on the fruit and leave smooth flesh. If it was a mouse or rat it would 
be rougher and you certainly would see indications of teeth marks.Whatever it 
was,it sounds like it was small and attacked from ground or sub-ground level. 
Im told moles eat earthworms,grubs,etc and not pumpkins. They will disturb 
roots and make it look like they've been eaten. My educated guess---and its a 
guess--is its a bug,likely a slug/snail if smoothsurface; a mouse if 
rougher.......................................Glenn A.
