Default what digs up dandelions ?

what little creatures dig up dandelion roots? I pick in the wilds, then pluck the leafs off the root for juicy meal (not me) and replant the roots. to regrow Nearly every night I come out to find them dug up, but only a little chewed. I suppose there is a list of culprits long as your arm. I will stick a stealth camera out if can. CB

I have to smile CB..... I do the same thing .....dig up and plant with occasional success.
When I do my weed walk I often come across an Italian Guy doing strange work outs in the open air and he gives me advice about eating dandelions in a salad..... Do you have an Italian restaurant nearby...... X x x x hugs x x

ha ! no Stellanne I don't, or Italians I think. another load dug up this morning. I think it may be the voles again - they stole the tortoises food all the time.last year. I was feeding a family of about 12 baby voles and they were a lot faster than the torts.
Glad they may be back but v elusive so will set up the wildlife camera see what pops up.! usually next doors cat. CB
