I haven't put in tomatoes for some years now, but I remember the frustration at their habit of taking a single bite from one and leaving it. The common wisdom at the time was that squirrels do that because they're thirsty, but I had bird baths with clean water. They do it because they're squirrels. It might taste better this time! It might really be something else! Same reason they dig up the winter aconite, go, "Ewwww, poison!" and dig it up again repeatedly.
