Book 29, Question 62

Why do squirrels dig up garden bulbs?

Squirrels bury nuts for winter, and they dig all over to find them or to hide new ones.

Freshly planted bulbs can look like snacks, or the loose soil makes digging easy. Gardeners protect bulbs with wire mesh over the soil or plant bulbs squirrels dislike, such as daffodils. Daffodil bulbs are poisonous, so never eat them or any other bulbs.
