Chilie problem

Hi folks

I have this unusual problem with my scotch bonnets chilies.

I have growing in my growing frame Poblamo mexican sweet peppers, another unknown sweet pepper, and scotch bonnets.

All the sweet peppers have cropped very well, but not so the scotch bonnets, they haven't done as well as they normallly do.

Now the problem, something is eating the scotch bonnets, I have not got one untouched, yet it never touches the sweet peppers, which are much bigger, there is not a blemish on any of them.

Is there a chilie loving bug around? if so what is it?

Any suggestions please.

Slugs? Perhaps the Scotch bonnets are sweeter?

Slugs tried to have a go at my last sweet peppers & not sure they can feel any heat so had I any chillies I bet they'd have a taste for them as well! In the meantime they are moving between my last toms & peppers!
