Default Coldframe question

Last year I built a coldframe. My wife moved three flats of marigolds into
it and something promptly ate the tops off of every one of them.... I didn't
think anything ate marigolds! What do you suppose it was? Slugs? Cutworms?
Mice?

Any suggestions to avoid the issue this year BEFORE I move plants out this
year?

Thanks

Chipmunks and some birds love Marigolds.
