I loose about 3-5 plants a year to squirrels havng parties on my bonsai shelves and requiring more room than the plants allow, so they periodically throw them off the shelves or dig them up. I can swear to the fact the 4 out of 5 squirrels perfer akadama soil for digging. I have about 300 trees and I am a mad propigator, which means I have a lot of pre-bonsai material, and that is where I have the majority of my losses.

I did get fed up with the squirrels this year and covered many of them with an orange netting left over from making a halloween costume. This seems to work, but the weeds grow throught netting and make it difficult to pull them out. Looks weird, but it works.
