I've had this happen in the past. I always chalked it up to birds but who knows. Maybe there is a better answer out there

Rodent teeth marks on the bottom right side. If there's one pointy end in a bite mark and it looks a little like an upside down 'm' then it's usually mice. Could be that they like the hull more than the inside.
