dalhia bulbs

Question

I dug up dahlia bulbs and found big holes in each bulb. Can you tell me what bug is eating the bulbs? Thank you for the info.

Answer 1

Mammals, such as voles, mice, or rabbits, may be eating your dahlias, especially since you've found large holes in the bulbs. Many mammals find dahlia bulbs tasty. Here is an article that might help:
