That sounds exactly like voles....notorious hosta root/crown munchers.
Best deterrent is a hunting cat. When I had a bunch of young cats - no
voles; when cats got old and went to cat heaven each and every clump of
hosta could be lifted right out of the ground...voles. Got new cat...no
voles.

good response from Marge on the vermints-voles.
Voles have a high shrill squeaky type voice and they love to eat my potted
ASTILBE in the winter.
They make bad house guests too-but I will not go into the story of the vole
that found it's way into the house and terrorized me in bed one night!
Suffice to say - waking up and being face to face to the critters is not a
check-mark on the plus side - for voles.
