Default Holes in Beets

I am growing beets again this year and have a problem for which I can't seem to find an explanation. Initially, I noticed that all the beets that were growing up out of the top of the soil had large chunks taken out of them. I thought it was a rodent, but once I picked those that were smaller and not bulging out of the soil, I saw that they, too, had been "eaten" so that the round beet root was hollow. So, it must be something that has the capability of going underground. I don't know if it is an small animal, bug or disease.
All that was left of the root was a half moon shaped piece of beet. I am talking about beets that were up to 2 inches in diameter. Has anyone had experience with this and if so, do you know what it is?
Thanks!
Chris, who is sad to lose her whole beet crop
