I would bet on a raccoon or a squirrel. I had a couple dozen germinated walnuts with 10 inch plants showing above the mix. I set them on the back patio and then got called to town on what turned out to not be an emergency. After about 2 hours, I returned to find that a single squirrel had dug out all of the one gallon containers and eaten the nut and its plant material.

The little glutton did not leave a single one. They have an amazing sense of smell. And, the raccoons around here do not allow me to plant corn. After three attempts and no harvest, I gave up. Once they find the first kernel, they take it all.
