Try This Food at Squirrel Feeders

Some folks despise them, for the pesky, destructive behavior their famous for. But others quite enjoy squirrel’s antics and even feed them out of kindness and maybe for entertainment too! Whether you love them or hate them, squirrel feeders are abundant in the marketplace. Crafted from wood, metal, and even recycled plastics, these designs will provide easy access (and sometimes not so easy) for squirrels to find food.

Many squirrel feeders are designed to hold corn cobs, as these are a favorite food for the little critters, (along with peanuts, birdseed, and suet). Squirrels are capable of consuming four times their weight in food in just one week, so the cobs can go pretty fast – usually needing to be replaced on a daily basis.

Corn Logs are a great alternative to traditional corn cobs. They’re basically compressed corn, and one log is equal to about twelve ears of corn. The corn logs around our house usually last about two to three weeks. But beware…the logs must be securely attached to the stake or pin on the squirrel feeder, because our crafty critters have managed to steal them every once in a while!
