I have never had tomatoes eaten by squirrels. In really dry years, I have had birds drilling them for fluids. Since I put a pan down to collect my air-conditioner condensate to make a perpetual bird waterer, I have not had a problem with the birds and tomatoes.

They still occasionally pull up my newly transplanted onions though. Have not figured out a way to stop that.

They will usually get our tomatoes when ripe. So as soon as they get some blush of pink, I bring them in along with part of the vine, and let them ripen indoors.

However last year they weren’t even waiting for that, just went after the green ones.
