Our squirrels don´t seem to have got the hang of this feeder yet! We´ve had it for a couple of months now and despite them trying to eat the feeder itself they refuse to open the lid!
Reply from the Ark Wildlife Team: See under FAQ´s. Squirrels very quickly learn to simply lift the lid and take out the food. Very occasionally it can be helpful with a new feeder to place a small amount of food on the front plate to act as a attraction and even prop the lid up for a short spell.
