Feeding squirrels in the garden
Squirrel Feeder White - filled with nuts and seeds that the squirrel can see through the large window in the front. The squirrel sits on the protruding wooden deck and pushes up the roof with its head to access the food. Squirrels are smart animals and they learn quickly how to access the goodies, even if it may seem tricky at first. The roof is folded down again when the squirrel leaves, ensuring that no other animals or birds get to the food. The squirrel feeder is made of solid, weather resistant wood. Mounting blocks are mounted against the tree or wall.
What do squirrels eat?
Squirrels often eat sunflower seeds and peanuts from bird feeders. It is alright to fill up the squirrel feeder with this type of food. However, it is better to offer hazelnuts and walnuts as well. But avoid Brazil nuts, wheat and dried corn.
Short memory
Did you know that squirrels are forgetful? They collect food that they put away in holes, trees or in small holes they dig in the ground, in order to eat it at a later time when there is a shortage of food. The problem is that the squirrel often forgets its little stashes. It is safe, if there is a fully stocked squirrel feeder nearby!
