This might be kind of a fruity question

But does anyone who lives in California successfully grow daffodils? I've had some planted for a while, and they recently come up, and even started blooming, but about half of them have gotten eaten by something, right down to the ground, and even the flowers, as soon as I see that they're about to open, I look at them the next day and they have been eaten to a stub. And it's annoying the hell out of me!!!!
