Safe nuts from grocery

[Snicker Bar]

I should have checked here first; I bought a bag of raw nuts from Kroger. If contains Brazil, Filbert, Cashew, Pecan, Almond. Are theses safe, and do squirrels like these? Thought about crushing them for next batch of Boo Squares

Those should be fine as long as they're not salted. If they are in the shell I think the filberts can have a fungus problem so they definitely need to be cracked before they're fed.

Thanks, no salt or shells; thanks

I would leave the brazil nuts out...i think they are very high in phosphorous.

Brazil nuts are SUPER high in selenium. Even humans aren't supposed to have more than five a day, lest they run the risk of selenium poisoning. So, I wouldn't give to many.
