Does anyone know if voles will eat peony roots? Should I plant them in a
'basket' of hardware cloth like I have to do my bulbs?

I don't know whether voles eat peonies. They don't eat mine but that's not
a fair test. This is a big yard with acres of adjacent bush and three cats
to protect the cultivated territory near the house. Something
ate/killed/stole all the species tulips I tried to naturalize in a woodsy
edge.
But I wonder how a hardware cloth basket would work for peonies. I
accidentally sliced a chunk off a peony root last week and decided to dig up
the whole thing and move it. It was huge. I was just amazed. The plant
had been in for at least 7 years. It was well established when I got here.
You'd need a very big basket.
