Although many animals like to dig up bulbs, squirrels are almost always the main culprits. Bulbs are delicious treats for these animals, and squirrels can dig up bulbs in a matter of minutes.
Squirrels tend to dig up bulbs at night when the coast is clear, and they can dig them up without any interruptions. And bulb planting season is also a perfect time for squirrels to commit their crimes. That’s because squirrels tend to start gathering extra food during bulb planting season to keep their stomachs full during the winter months when food is harder to come by.
