Yes, opossums may dig up and eat bulbs, particularly if they are easy to access. While they primarily feed on insects, fruits, and small animals, they will opportunistically consume bulbs if they are available. However, they are not the most common pests for bulbs, as other animals like squirrels and rodents are generally more likely to damage them.
