In my garden, mice eat up to half of a tomato at least!

I pick all of my tomatoes when they just begin to turn red, birds are especially attracted to the redness of the fruit and swoop down to take just a peck or two, enough to ruin a tomato. squirrels also like them. Take the ones you pick early and place on a towel inside and let them ripen. You can also wrap the green ones in newspaper and place them in a box and they will last for months. You can discourage this by placing bright red Christmas ornaments in the garden. The birds will be attracted by these shiny items more than your produce.
