Whats eating my Cauli

I've had problem with growing Cauliflower from day dot. Something is eating it. I've had them covered with netting for weeks now. I've only seen one slug and one caterpilla. They are next to my Broccoli and Brussels Sprouts which show no sign of damage. I've included some photos.

Might seem strange but due to the netting over the plants then this could be caused by the earwig. No preditor can get at them so they eat at will.

An earwig can,t do that much damage i would have a look round the plants for rabit droppings, and check the bottom of the net for holes. Also have a careful scan inside the cage cos if its a little rabit it may be still in there
