Around my area the number one culprit would be the Cottontail Rabbit.
Especially when and where there is snow cover. I didn't mention it
earlier because I felt it was too obvious and didn't know if you had
them about. If you were in an area that got hit with all the recent snow
and have rabbits... that's your likely culprit. Especially if the snow
depth would have enabled them to reach the damaged area.

Quite often you can make out the teeth marks in gnawings. I put a
recent picture here of some smaller branches that show Eastern
Cottontail work:

Close examination of the work can give more clues by noting the
width of the teeth marks. Those are apple tree branches, which
they seem to like okay. Nom-nom...
