Details

Hazelnuts are the preferred food of Red and Grey Squirrels and they contain nearly all the nutrition that they need, whereas feeding too many peanuts can leave them with calcium and vitamin deficiencies.

Additionally, being rodents, squirrels teeth continue to grow, and gnawing is an essential activity to keep them in the height of good health.

Apart from all these health benefits it`s great fun to watch squirrels fetching, handling and opening whole hazelnuts to get at the `goodies` inside. Go on, try some in your garden!

Q: How do the Squirrels get the nuts inside?
A: Nuts in their shell are an excellent way of caring for Squirrels teeth, as well as being excellent nutrition. They will gnaw at the shell until the nut is exposed.
Q: Will hazelnuts attract other wildlife to my garden?
A: All rodents can take an interest in hazelnuts including mice, voles and unfortunately rats. Additionally, woodpeckers and nuthatches will also benefit.
Q: What other nuts can I feed squirrels?
A: Squirrels will take an interest in most nuts whether in the shell or just the kernel. Offering treated or nut kernels that have been prepared for human consumption is not a good idea. Walnuts, pine nuts and almonds are okay however it is unwise to offer brazil nuts.
Q: Are shelled nuts better for squirrels?
A: There are two main reasons shelled nuts are beneficial. As they are in their shell, they are in their own sealed container so that they remain fresher for longer. As squirrels are rodents, their incisors are in a constant state of growth and gnawing through the outer shell to get to the kernel within helps maintain dental health.
