The leaves and stems are toxic to most animals including rabbits however it is not unheard of where a plant will be knocked down and the tomatoes (red or green) scruffed up. (I have also had experience with the neighbor's dog doing this.)
Deer have eaten my tomatos, but a likely culprit could be the tomato hornworm. They are green and blend in with the vines so they are difficult to see. They are larger than a caterpillar and have a rhinoceros horn on their back ends.
Generally, no but other critters will. You can keep your plants shielded with wire fencing; certainly helps us out.
