You have described vole damage. Plants wilt rapidly after being
gnawed by voles. There are baits on the market for vole control.
There are also products available that have stone-like chips in
the potting mix that can be incorporated in the native soil
to discourage voles. Plants and bulbs can be planted in a fine-
mesh to protect the roots from the voles.
