Bunnies and deer and an occasional squirrel!
There is a product that smells of rotten eggs called DEER OFF. You must apply it after every rain or watering, but if you do a good job it works the critters will not touch your bulbs.
I have heard that DRY BLOOD. It is a nutrient for bulbs that you can buy in a garden shop will be offensive to animals also.

Its probably deer. To deter them there are lots of products that repel deer. Most of them stink to high heaven. Personally I use fox urine because its the most natural. You can buy this at a local sporting good store that sells hunting supplies.

Yes, it is deer. Try putting shavings of the bar soap Irish Spring around the plants. My parents have done this for years and have had great success.

Deer--they adore tulips.It is difficult to deter.I gave up,and plant daffodils now instead--they hate daffs.
