What rodent eats daffodil bulbs?

We found a couple of holes in our garden and found dug up daffodil bulbs. Does anyone know what type of rodent is responsible for this?

Reply:Wow, what a delecacy for all sorts of animals. It would depend on where you live. Rabbits, deer, squirrels, Gophers. Good luck@!
Reply:going to say moles or voles but they usually eat them underground--your's were dug up so not sure. IF it's a mole, you can find out by walking around %26amp; your feet will sink where there's an underground tunnel. If so, it's usually only one or two %26amp; U just spread diazinon on your yard b4 a rain to kill the grubworms they feast on to get rid of them.





For dug up bulbs, ??? I would check with my neighbors to see if they've the same problem %26amp; sometimes people will actually SEE the varmint (could be squirrel,dog, cat, possum, beaver, deer). That way you can KNOW what kind of trap/poison/deterrent to set out.





Until you figure it out, you might set out reflective pie pans or pieces of mylar, shiney things, or noisy things that reflect the sun or make noise in the wind to startle them----- AND the best remedy is to plant your bulbs wrapped in chicken wire (cheap) (get at lowe's, home depot, or a feed-supply store) and they will leave your bulbs alone. (It has about 1" large spaces so your plant can easily poke thru %26amp; rise above ground level.)
Reply:squirrels and rabbits eat them.
Reply:Squirrels, ate mine as well. Actually saw one busy eating one of my freshly planted Tulip bulbs yesterday, not impressed after all i have done for him. Feeding him, biscuits, peanuts the lot, ungrateful little sod.
Reply:never plant bulbs if you live in any type of place that doesn't have cats and dogs roamin free...i am dead serious on this one. SQUIRRLEls, MUSK RATS...those nasty buggers will eat ALL bulbs....


i plant roses...and enjoy watching them get their hides stuck. And there is NO way to get rid of them either unless you get a cat.
Reply:gophers or moles will eat them... I had the bastards take down an entire flower bed in less than a week.... even took my lillies... I wasn't sure of what it was until I noticed one actually pull the lilly plan down into their burrow to eat.
Reply:I thought that daffodils were toxic to eat.


Must be a squirrel. Squirrels ate my Christmas lights. Ate the wires and took the bulbs!
Reply:could definitely be rats i used to work at a garden centre and they were always trying to munch the daffs and spuds
