I have the same problem, the voles are so bad here I can only grow a fraction of the things I was accustomed to at other locations. My cat helps, but only so much. That’s so sad, I am so very sorry.

Never fear...there is always a remedy. Daffodils are supposed discourage these varmints, so you might plan to plant some of those beautiful early blooming small varieties like "tete-a tete" around and through the crocus. Even if it doesn't completely deter the eating of the crocus, you would have spring color and dainty plants. What do you think? What a disappointment! Never fear…there is always a remedy.

I'm still not sure whether it was moles or voles. Voles usually don't throw up dirt like that; moles usually don't make runs that are exposed to the surface. And certainly not all of the crocus are eaten. Tons more have started blooming since I wrote the post, including some that are actually growing in the tunnels! Not one yellow crocus has shown up. Could it be whatever creature did the damage only ate the yellow crocuses? How's that for strange?

Am leaning more towards mole as the culprit. There aren't actually that many crocuses missing. Update: now the yellow (golden, actually) crocuses are blooming . . . so I don’t know what to think.
