This time of the year it is more likely to be slugs.
All sorts will eat cabbage, you have them covered I suppose. But bird, rodent, etc. damage would not be simple holes.

yes they are covered with enviromesh ......... probably just created a lovely protected environment for the slugs to live !! ........ I try not to use slug pellets unless they really get me cross ha ha
