Your Squirrel's Fav Food (NOT nuts!)

[happybooker1]

I'm trying to find other fruits/veggies/willd stuff that I might not have thought about to feed Twitchy. We all know how crazy they are about nuts & acorns. So besides THOSE, what are some of your squirrel's fave's??:D

Romaine is number one!
Avocado, mushrooms, blueberries and oranges!
Baby Bok choy.....spinach
Mulberries are popular when in season.The leaves all year round.
They hit on a lot of food, but these are their fav's!:thumbsup
Hibiscus leaves, stems and flowers, Purslane, magnolia cones and pinecones, spainish moss from outside!

Mushrooms, hibiscus blossoms, hawthorne berries, beauty berries...loves corn BUT of course only gets once in a blue moon (MAYBE once every coulple of weeks)... yogurt, apples.

All that said, if they get any of the above more than once or twice in a row, they are so OVER it 'til next time :shakehead :poke

I have some wild semi tame squirrels but this is what i've noticed;

hibiscus leaves, lilac branches, maple seed heads - the helicopters, mulberries, dandelion leaves, rosebuds - all 100% organic - untreated.

apples ofcourse, rasberries sometimes and cherries - ofcourse i don't know what the affect is on them....

i did see billy chewing on the cherry tree branches 2 weeks ago and freak out because it's supposed to be poisonous (to rabbits) and i don't know enough about squirrels to be relaxed about it.

fluffytailnut: another amazing photo of bean. :)

and here i'm showing my squirrel ignorance but potatoes and especially carnations are supposed to be poisonous for rabbits (i know because of my rabbit slave status) and so i guess it's not the same for squirrels?

I know you know what you're doing - i'm just curious.

thanks.
