Feeling heartbroken and dumb (young apples, mostly girdled)

I was a bit worried when i got hit for the first time too but the trees both look great today.

First time rodent damage

Morning everyone, I was hit by rodent/rabbit damage for the first time. I’m sad that it happened but also grateful that it only hit two year old saplings. My question for those with experience is, how likely are they to recover? One took about 50% and the other about 35%. Is a bridge graft viable on such young trees or am I better of starting from scratch? [PXL_20221107_214744528~2] [PXL_20221107_214729026~2] [PXL_20221107_214807453~2] [PXL_20221107_214818632~2]
