Hey Squirrel Enthusiasts!
Ever wonder what treats can make your backyard the go-to spot for squirrels? At Squirrel Mania, we know that the way to a squirrel’s heart is through its stomach. Here’s a list of the best foods to attract and keep your furry friends coming back for more!
1. Nuts About Nuts
Squirrels love all kinds of nuts. Offer a variety of acorns, walnuts, pecans, and hazelnuts. For a special treat, you can even provide them with peanuts (unsalted and in the shell, of course).
2. Fruits and Veggies
Fresh produce is a hit with squirrels. Apples, berries, and grapes are particularly popular. You can also offer carrots, sweet potatoes, and leafy greens for a nutritious snack.
3. Seeds Galore
Sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds are great choices. These tiny powerhouses of nutrition will keep your squirrels healthy and happy. Just remember to provide them unsalted.
4. Corn Cobs
Dried corn on the cob is a fun and challenging snack for squirrels. Hang it up and watch as they gnaw away, enjoying the tasty kernels.
5. Peanut Butter Treats
Spread some peanut butter on a tree trunk or mix it with birdseed to create a tasty treat. Be sure to use it sparingly as a special delight.
6. Healthy Snacks
Try offering healthy alternatives like unsweetened, whole grain cereal or small amounts of plain popcorn. These provide a nice change from their usual fare.
7. Hydration Station
Don’t forget to provide fresh water. A shallow dish or small fountain will keep your squirrel visitors hydrated and happy.
By providing a variety of nutritious foods, you’ll not only attract more squirrels but also ensure they stay healthy. Share your squirrel buffet setups on Squirrel Mania – we’d love to see your creative feeding stations!
Happy feeding, The Squirrel Mania Team
