Squirrels live wild and normally find their own food. In times when the supply runs short, for instance during frost, under a closed cover of snow or in a poor mast year, you can support them in the garden. Our special squirrel food is made for this extra feeding and comes in several pack sizes, from the small bag to the large sack.
Setting up a feeding spot
Pick a place that is easy to reach from branches or a wall and gives a good view around. A raised feeder box or a feeding station keeps the food dry and protects it from wet weather. A little distance from dense bushes gives the animals more security from cats. Top up smaller amounts more often, then nothing is left lying around to spoil. A shallow bowl of water nearby is welcome during dry summer weeks, when natural puddles and ditches run empty for days at a time.
Regularity and cleanliness
Squirrels remember feeding places quickly and then come by reliably, often at the same time of day. That makes watching them a real pleasure. Keep the spot clean, remove old remains and clean the feeder regularly. Food that has turned damp does not belong back in the feeder. Watch from a distance and let the animals eat in peace, because they stay wild animals and should keep their natural shyness. If you find an injured or orphaned animal, contact a rescue centre or a vet practice. Larger packs pay off if you feed through the whole winter, while small bags cover single weeks of poor weather.
Frequently asked questions
When does extra feeding make sense?
Above all in frost and snow and in times with little natural supply. In very dry summer weeks a bowl of water helps too.
Where do I put the feeding spot?
Raised, easy to reach and with a good view around. A little distance from dense bushes gives the animals more security from cats.
How do I keep the feeding spot clean?
Remove old remains, clean the feeder regularly and top up only as much as gets eaten in a short time.
A helping hand for the squirrels in your garden
Squirrels are wild animals and look after themselves all year round. When frost and snow make the search harder in winter, or a year with few beechnuts and hazelnuts lies behind them, targeted extra feeding helps. Our special squirrel food is made exactly for that and comes in several pack sizes, from the small bag to the large sack. Set the feeding spot up raised and easy to reach, keep the food dry and top up smaller amounts. A shallow bowl of water is welcome during dry weeks in summer. Watch from a distance so the animals keep their natural shyness. Large packs pay off if you feed through the whole winter, while small bags cover single weeks. If you find an injured or orphaned animal, contact a rescue centre or a vet practice.
