This sturdy squirrel feeder is built to last and is made from durable FSC managed timber, with the lid having a corrosion-resistant hinge. With a generous hopper which is easily filled with peanuts, this is an ideal feeder to attract red squirrels to the garden in the areas they live in, plus to keep nuisance grey squirrels off bird feeders.
How will this help keep squirrels away from my bird feed?
The food is far easier for a squirrel to access compared to most bird feeders, so therefore it will typically take this option.
Where is the best place to hang a squirrel feeder?
Secured to a tree, fence post or other solid surface.
What food should I use in a squirrel feeder?
Our Premium Peanuts are ideal.
How can I attract more squirrels to my bird feeder?
As long as the bird feeder is in a visible place and squirrels visit your garden, then they’ll find it easily.

I bought this feeder in an attempt to keep the squirrels off the bird feeders. I filled it with peanuts initially. The squirrels worked out how to open it in no time at all. They enjoyed the peanuts. Unfortunately, they were still interested in the food in the bird feeders. I put some of the food that I was using in the bird feeders in the squirrel feeder along with the peanuts. That seems to be working. The feeder is well-made and designed so that the lid will fall back down once the squirrel gets his head out of the feeder. The perspex window is useful as it not only shows the squirrels what is in the feeder but also enables you to see clearly when the feeder is getting empty. My only slight niggle is that the feeder is held on by a single screw. I found that the feeder had tilted to one side one morning. Whether this was squirrel or cat induced, I am not sure. I ended up removing the central screw from the wooden bar above the lid and putting in a longer screw that screwed through the feeder into the fixing post. That held the feeder more securely in place.

The feeder was out of stock when I first ordered it but it was delivered promptly as soon as available. Anything in wood is not squirrelproof and this box will ultimately go the way of the last and be chewed until it leaks its contents, but it looks sturdy enough to put up some resistance. If there was a second hole for fixing nails it would not swivel round when the squirrels decide to attack it. Or have I just got mutant squirrels?

It is very sturdy and beautifully made. I've placed on the fence at the bottom of my small garden and I just love to sit in my kitchen eating breakfast and watching the antics of my squirrels. They lift the lid with their nose and dive in. I'll be ordering more peanuts before long.
