My pepper plants have their stems snapped, whats happening?

Question

I have a number of different peppers (bell, jalapeno, hungarian wax) planted. The problem is, every day I come home from work, or wake up in the morning, many of the stems are partially snapped off from the plants. It appears as if something is knawing in to the stems. This happens any where from a couple centimeters to about 2 inches from the ends of the stems. Many times, there are several pepper buds on these broken stems, and its ticking me off. At this rate, I wont produce a single pepper. Please help!

p**s around them and if you have a dog have your dog p**s around them this should help to keep rabbits groundhogs ecetra away and if it doesn't you might want to try setting a snare or two or fencing them in

Peppers also benefit allot from a dash of epsom salts
