strawberries eaten by wildlife, can they still produce this season? #872794

You guys recently answered an unrelated question of mine, which was helpful.
How may I entice our strawberry plants to produce flowers and fruit after they've been eaten? Animals were eating the unripe fruits. I've since put netting around them. They are being grown in a container. They are the variety 'Eclair", June-bearing strawberries.

Expert Response
Hi- there is conflicting information whether Eclair is a "June-bearer" or day-neutral in flowering and fruiting. We suggest that you keep plants well-watered and lightly fertilize them with a complete fertilizer (contains nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium; N-P-K). The first number (N) should be highest.
