Q: Do squirrils eat daffodil or blubell bulbs?

A: I have daffodils at my home and lots and lots of squirrels but they don't seem to dig the bulbs up at all. Not sure about bluefells however. Do keep in mind that if food is scarce, squirrels may eat things they would normally avoid so probably very few foods are "off limits" to squirrels. You may want to check with your local nursery and they'll have some good ideas what kind of flowers are less likely to be disturbed by squirrels.

Thanks for asking.
