Wouldn't a fox just go off with it? It's more likely to be a dog, I'd
think.

Am I being a bit slow. You said squirrel like and at a guess they are the
culprits. Seems a very sensible thing to do-if you re a squirrel

A plastic container? I suppose it's possible but if Lez has seen foxes
they're most likely. In thinking of dogs I must be influenced by ours who
have been known to raid staff rucksacks if they're carelessly left within
reach! ;-)

A dog would have buried it at home not in someone else's garden. Foxes
climb very well too - I've seen them leaping over my 2m fence like
cats. Aren't you enclosed? Is this your front garden? And were all the
bulbs gone?

Obvious sign of Chinese Badger....

If the bulbs were edible the Badger will exchange them for a portion of Chow
Mien as a fair exchange.
You might find some Prawn Crackers too next time

I found a plastic cup neatly packed with horse chestnuts buried near a
freshly planted tree a few years ago. Us northern squirrels is reet
cleva.:-)

Yes, certainly a fox is capable of such an action, in fact it's normal for a
fox to bury surplus food in good times to use during bad times. On our
previous allotment where there were two families of foxes (and no rabbits!)
we were often digging up duck eggs and once two gammon steaks attached
themselves to my fork much to my horror/surprise. One day I noticed a rat
looking out of the ground at me, it was dead, and had been buried up to it's
neck leaving it's head exposed. Nice! :-)

Bah gum, lad.... I'm impressed! I would have thought genuinely wild
animals would eschew plastic (there's a joke or pun in there somewhere) and
I am - genuinely - amazed to read this. I'm quite pleased too, for some
reason!

yes I am now thinking fox..........the garden is open from the front, the
bulbs were not eaten and mainly because our local territorial TOM cat has
been sniffing the area around the pots quite intensely since.

Perhaps it's something to do with keeping your nuts dry. I assume the nice
dry plastic cup stops them germinating. I do not know if it's just the
Northern birds that do it but most nests seem to contain plastic,
particularly the stuff from round cig packets, polystyrene cups and that
nasty light green synthetic garden twine.

I like to make sure my nuts are dry all the time.
