They will also spend a long time picking their way through to look for the tastiest morsels, which means you keep these cute little visitors in your garden for longer.
Like many animals, squirrels benefit from a varied diet.
Our squirrel nut and seed mix is a great base which can be used alongside other nuts, such as walnuts or hazelnuts.
Your local squirrels might also benefit from being provided with fresh fruit and veg, such as carrots, chopped apples, celery and spinach.
Try shredding or finely chopping these first, to prevent the squirrels hiding or burying them round your garden.
Our squirrel mix can also be used as part of the diet of other small rodents, such as chipmunks.
However, just as with squirrels, it is important that you supplement this with a range of other foods, including nuts, fruits and vegetables.
Chipmunks benefit from having a diet rich in cereals, so try mixing some extra wheat, barley or millet into our squirrel mix before you give it to them.
