Hi everyone,
I like to feed my wild greys here in Chicago. I have a few that visit my backyard. I stopped feeding last year due to having some issues with my neighbor.( he has squirrels in his attic, he has had them for years now though, even before we moved here). Well he just gets mad that quite a few people in this neighbirhood on our block do feed them.
I started feeding them again in the srping this year ( screw my neighbor, hey, he is the only one on around here who has squirrels in his attic, no one else does! He needs to fix his attic then he wouldn't have the problem right?)
Well anyhow I feed my wild greys an assortment of raw nuts, like almonds, pecans, hazelnuts and walnuts. They really like them. It is funny because each squirrel has their own likes and dislikes. Pancake( this is what I named her), she really likes almonds. She also like to bury them. Then Bandit ,well he likes the walnuts more. Kowala likes everything he is not picky in the least. And I also think I have a mama who is pregnant and she likes them all, but more so the almonds.
My question is: can they eat any other kinds of nuts like brazil or cashew?? I bought a few brazil nuts out of the shell but wanted to see if they were safe to give my wilds??? I will say since we have been feeding them, they look really healthy and fat for the winter!! Their coats are beautiful :)
