Lilies: Moles/voles eat Lily bulbs??, 1 by stormyla

I have some lilies that were planted several years ago that I want to dig up and replant in the chicken grit. I'm not worried about most of them, because I should be able to fully cut their foliage back in the next week or so.

But I have a nice group of Conca D'ors that almost reached 10' tall this year. After they finished blooming, I cut the 3 feet of bloom stalks off. Then about 3 weeks later, we started getting very high wind storms and I was worried that the stalks would snap off at ground level, so I cut another 2 to 3' of stalk down.

Here's what the stalks look like today. They are not yellowing at all. Our ground doesn't usually freeze until late December to early January.

Does anyone know how long I should wait to cut these stalks and lift and replant the bulbs?
