Question about pest mammals and bulbs

"
Bulbs in the Amaryllis Family also contain physiologically active (i.e.,
toxic) alkaloids that serve as deterrents to animal predation. So I
wonder
why Doug's daffodils in the mountains keep disappearing? The only
predator
that occurs to me is bulb flies, which are not deterred by alkaloids."

Jim Shields,

I think that it could be squirrels.
