Tasty mudflaps
Both of my front mudflaps have been rather badly chewed! Guess something like a fox, rather than a rat.
Anyone’s else experienced this, or could offer suggestions on how to prevent a future attack would be welcomed.

Even a rat doesn't deserve to be left suffering in a maimed or seriously injured state.
I'm unable to post what I think about you here.

It was a quote from Harry Potter when Dobby the House Elf was warning Bellatrix. Apologies if you didn't get the reference! Discovery 4 HSE late 2015 Euro6

Could be road salt that made them tasty, if so not a problem now till next winter.
New ones might not hold the salt so well.A visitor from the dark side, my other vehicle is an is still an EV. Strictly speaking its SWMBO.

I suggest squirrels (grey). They have eaten a dustbin here.A vaccine does not stop you catching a virus, or passing it on, or getting ill from it, really ill. It does reduce the likelyhood of you dying when really, really ill. Stay Alive - KEEP AWAY FROM PEOPLE.

Maybe applied by a previous owner, as that's one of the obscure tips for cleaning up plastic trim. ...... always on the road less travelled 🚧
