In recent weeks, after purchasing a new kind of critter food at a local grocery store, I noticed a significant decline in the number of squirrels at the feeders. Even with the grapes, bananas, apples and avocados I also put out, it just didn’t seem the same in terms of the numbers of squirrels and especially the frequency of Boo sightings. I wondered if perhaps the decline was due to our hot summer temperatures or just what else it could be.
This morning I went to Home Depot to purchase the food I had previously used. Wow did that make a difference! Within minutes of filling the feeders, I had throngs of squirrels jockeying for position, including Bit and Boo themselves! OK guys, I promise not to switch your food again!
This is the food I highly recommend if you want to attract precious squirrels to your yard or deck. It may be available elsewhere – I will be on the hunt now for other places to purchase it.
