Description
I have a couple of feeders which are not fitted with Squirrel-proof cages, and get all too frequent visits from the charming rogues.
As I spend a significant amount on high quality bird food I'm not that keen on fattening these arboreal rodents.
So, I have started putting cheaper food into these vulnerable feeders.

Fantastic...!!!
I love it, but I know what you mean re food!!
WoW !! Epic shot! I once saw one of these crack open a Walnut, they must have incredible strengh in their jaws. Popped into Fav´s
mignon!
Smart idea with the cheap food. They sure are cute, though, aren't they? :)
I love the way you have captured it Andrea.
Wonderful capture
Super capture.
Just send Ralph after them :) Excellent capture.
Great Shot!
So Lovely , we have lots here,
Excellent capture of this squirrel, they certainly can be cheeky and little gets between them and their food, I guess he might be keeping one eye out to make sure Ralph has not spotted him :-)
That's how we handle it too; I have quite a huge herd of them at my house, so the good food goes in the hanging tray with a baffle, and the cheap stuff goes in the ones they can get to (by working--I don't make it easy!) I love them, they're so much fun to watch; you got a great capture of this one.
Stellar capture of an arboreal rodent that already looks well fed, but still out for more of any kind of sustenance it can lay its tiny paws on.
Ah, those loveable little tree-rats.... Their best defense is such disarming cuteness! This is a wonderful shot of the little rascal!
Outstanding capture. Very cute trespasser. Just keep Ralph away. BTW - how are the birds?
he do look happy to get some food. cool shot
wonderful capture... he looks like he has more than enough been fed
Rats with a cute, fluffy tail. They used to get into our goat's feed sacks - they would rip open the bags and scatter the feed everywhere, just eating the corn. Rat traps baited with corn stuck in peanut butter helped thin them out.
they eat all, cheap or not.. great and perfect done picture, i like very much the position on the fence from this little fellow!!
Amazing capture Andrea. God bless.
I can understand not wanting to feed them with expensive food.. good idea on the cheaper food :) Nice of you to feed the squirrels as well :)
Nice little rascal :)
It takes a lot to keep them from the peanuts.
We've a wire running the from one tree to another, a rather lengthy bit of it, with the feeder hanging from it, and the squirrels figure out how to get to it, sometimes "running" the along upside down to get to the feeder! John even has put out a squirrel feeder. Of course that just attracts more squirrels, so not the solution he hoped for (: A lovely capture of this tree rat, as they are called around these parts.
A fantastic capture and they are so bold - especially if you encourage them!
