Pat,

I've no idea about the pests in your area, but in the PNW currant sawfly
(caterpillar) will eat the leaves of gooseberries overnight - it leaves the
skeleton only.

: We also have the gooseberries encircled by chicken wire,
: because something ate all their leaves one night, when we
: had first planted them. They recovered. It could have been
: a groundhog, or a deer, or a rabbit. But anyway, they are
: safe (I hope) in their chicken-wire cages now.
