When and how to feed squirrels?
Supplemental feeding is intended as a supplement . In autumn and winter (and during dry periods or when there's little mast), extra food is often most appreciated. It helps to feed small amounts and keep the feeding area consistent: this keeps things organized and more hygienic.
- It is better to give a little regularly than a lot at once.
- Choose varied mixes (nuts, kernels, seeds) and alternate with a nut treat.
- Preferably feed in a quiet, sheltered spot (not in the middle of a busy terrace).

Installing a feeding station: how to make it easy for squirrels
A feeding station provides squirrels with a designated feeding area and helps keep leftovers under control. Our squirrel feeding station is made of natural (untreated) wood and has a convenient flip-up lid.
- Hang or place the station in a sheltered spot and preferably slightly elevated (out of reach of cats where possible).
- Provide a clear approach/run-up route and sufficient branches/climbing opportunities nearby.
- Refill in small portions and remove old leftovers .
Checklist: How to create a good squirrel feeding station
- ✓ Choose a quiet place with shelter (bush/ivy/tree).
- ✓ Use a fixed feeding place: feeding station or a clean, dry tray.
- ✓ Start with a small portion of squirrel food .
- ✓ Add an occasional treat such as hazelnuts & walnuts .
- ✓ Keep it clean: remove old residues, clean the station regularly.
Maintenance & hygiene
A clean feeding area is more pleasant for both animals and you. Empty and clean the feeding station or tray regularly (with warm water and let it dry thoroughly). Only refill when it's almost empty, and remove any wet or spoiled food immediately.
Safety: what not to do
- ✓ Do not give spiced/salted nuts or leftovers from the table.
- ✓ Do not feed in places where it becomes wet quickly (risk of mold/rancidity).
- ✓ Preferably not large quantities at once: keep it organized and remove leftovers.
- ✓ Check wooden items regularly for wear and stability.
