Ranunculus and anemone bulbs are planted close to the surface. Is there any way to protect them from squirrels?

I put a small wire cage around the bulb before planting. Make sure the wire mesh is just wide enough for the shoots to get thru.

Sprinkle cayenne pepper on them before planting and sprinkle a little around the soil after planting. Squirrels don't like cayenne pepper!
