Our novelty Fluffy Tail Cafe squirrel feeder shows that simplicity is key to designing wildlife products that benefit the animals. The robust feeder is made from high quality, naturally durable FSC managed timbers with a strong stainless-steel hinge to resist corrosion and requires very little maintenance. The generous and easy to clean hopper can be filled with peanuts or mixed nuts and has a clear plastic screen for you and the squirrels to see the amount of food remaining. Once the squirrels see the food, they’ll soon figure out how to lift the lid and reach inside. Providing a separate food source for squirrels can take the pressure off your bird feeders and offer you countless hours of joy watching them feast sitting on the red stools of the Fluffy Tail CafĂ©. Designed for both grey and red squirrels. Locate well away from any bird feeders on a tree, fence or any sturdy object at the height of roughly 1.5-2m. Preferably in a convenient filling and viewing position to ensure you can watch the squirrels’ antics for maximum entertainment. We recommend regularly topping up and clearing the feeder of any mouldy nuts to reduce the chances of bacteria building up. The best practice is to give the plastic screen and hopper a wipe with a damp cloth whilst you clear and top up. Not normally required. If wood stains are used, they should be water-based to minimise toxicity. Apply light oil to the hinge if necessary. It is natural for the wood to move in damp or varying weather conditions, which is normal.
