Just from the first ingredient they are not good. Rice cereal appears to be the main ingredient and that is total crap for squirrels. HHBs from Henry's are made specifically to meet a squirrel's nutritional needs. If you want to make your own, I can send you a recipe.

Thanks, Sammy'sMom, I would love a recipe. My gut reaction was that this would be more of a treat considering the first 2 ingredients were rice cereal and ground pecans. I think they are intended as a supplement for wild squirrels. Is rice cereal actually bad for squirrels or is it just not as good as other options?
