I've just checked on my Delphinium seedlings and something has feasted on them! There's not much left, but whatever it is has left a cast on the soil, in the picture you can see some in the top left and bottom left. I've got a few Delphinium seedlings left in another tray, could I save them, and will whatever it is start eating my other seedlings (I've got quite a few other types of plants in the same grow house). Thank you!

Looks like they've damped off...a fungal disease that affects young seedlings.

Just to add, those casts look like snail casts so they could've been munching them

Slugs love delphiniums, I wonder also if the change in the weather to cold and damp has upset them too as Andy says

Thank you, I'll have a check for slugs and snails.

look under the tray in the gaps between the cells. Snails love to hide under here.
