Speaking of mice and young cyclamen tubers...Judy is correct that they prefer the young ones. Many winters ago, we had 2-3 weeks of 14 F temperatures and 6-8 inches of snow in the northern Willamette Valley. I had covered my flats of cyclamen (directly on the ground) with poly so the snow accumulated on top to insulate. When I uncovered, the wee beasties had nibbled on many, many little ones, a few bites here and there, then piled them in certain 4-inch pots. They didn't move quite fast enough as I saw one or more of the little gray animals running as I uncovered. I was just starting the nursery and was blown away by what I found!!! Fortunately, I had lots of plants, but it was exceedingly painful to toss so many damaged babies...
