The cyclamen have been left blessedly intact. But I don't have much of a critter-digging problem, except where the kitties decide to site a new latrine, preferably in recently-dug soft soil.

I must cover all new plantings(plants, bulbs, tubers, corms, whatever) with wire mesh to prevent them from being unearthed and often disappearing. For perennial plants, I cut a 1 ft.square of "chicken wire" fencing(1" openings) and cut it to the center, enlarge a hole to fit around the plant stem(s)and pin it to the ground. For Cyclamen and other low growing plants and bulbs, I fashion a square cage, tall enough for the plant to grow inside, enclose the plant and pin it to the ground.
This is a ritual for me, as I have woodlands in the rear and shade trees on the rest of my property. Most bear nuts, berries or seed that attract many types of wildlife and their prey.
I usually leave the wire over many bulb plantings and around perennials until it rusts and disintegrates.
The cages are usually removed after a year or two. Once the soil settles, the critters usually lose interest. If it is a particularly valuable plant, it may remain enclosed for several years.
At the present time, I am having to deal with the two-legged type of "critter", that treats my garden as a "free-for-the-taking" nursery. Anything in bloom or has attractive
foliage, is a prime target. We believe we know who the perp's are, but can't catch them doing their dastardly deeds. :Sorry for your loss, we can certainly ephatize with you!
