long lasting food for squirrel feeders

Anyone who feeds squirrels, or birds for that matter, knows just how these furry little critters can be the biggest pigs! Seems whatever food you put out, it’s never enough. Some folks feed squirrels, while some folks absolutely hate them-either way the goal is to keep the out of bird feeders.

Lots of fun squirrel feeders are out there, from the munch box kind where they learn to lift the lid to retrieve treats, to staked squirrel feeders meant for corn on the cob. These resemble porch swings, picnic chairs, bungee cords and other fun designs that are actually quite entertaining to watch the action.

But corn cobs, even though inexpensive, will disappear fast, almost daily. These corn logs are a great alternative if you have a staked-type squirrel feeder. They are compressed corn and equal to about twelve ears of the regular stuff. Perfect for squirrel feeders you don’t want to attend to on a daily basis. The squirrel logs come in sweet corn and corn and nut flavor which are dark brown in color. During freezing winter weather, we smear peanut butter on the smooth surface as a special high protein treat that helps squirrels stay warm. One thing though, be sure they are securely attached as our crafty critters have managed to steal them once in a while!
