I doubt they would be a benefit, so, best not to.
Even though I haven't found anything related to fresh bean sprouts, I suspect they would be fine.

Thank you for your responses. I have looked at the Nutrition chart for squirrels. Since I didn't get any response right away I did feed them to her and she likes them... nothing bad happened to her. I will give them sparingly and only fresh ones from the Whole Food Market so that they are organically grown without pesticides. Thank you again!

I've fed both my squirrels sunflower sprouts that sprout in my backyard from the birdseed dropping to the ground and germinating with no ill effects. In fact they are high in Omega 6 fats which is of course good for you. I only feed them every once in a while, but both of my squirrels love them!

Thanks so much! My little girl seems to love them!!!!!mjs

sprouts are amazing BUT watch out for molds - you only need a tiny amount to seriously harm the squirrel.

I think that bean sprouts would/could be very gassy.:dono
