Squirrels, like all rodents, need to eat. And they need to eat a lot. Squirrels can eat up to 15 pounds of food each day, which means that they need a diet high in protein. Squirrel food, or squirrel food for squirrels, includes nuts, seeds, and nuts, as well as fruit, vegetables, and grains. Squirrels are omnivores, which means that they eat both plant and animal matter.

Squirrel food is typically sold in the form of seed mixes, which contain a mix of nuts, seeds, and grains.

Squirrels are one of nature's most versatile and abundant animals. They are common pests in gardens and bird feeders, but they play an important role in our ecosystem. They are especially drawn to nuts, acorns, and seeds. However, these foods are often lacking in nutritional value. The Volkman Small Animal Squirrel Gourmet Mix contains both nuts and seeds, providing a full spectrum of nutrients. The Squirrel Gourmet Mix contains whole grain wheat flour, peanuts, dried cranberries, and sunflower seeds. These ingredients are completely edible, and squirrels will eat on the spot due to its soft shell, rather than burying food. The squirrel mix is packaged in resealable plastic bags, making it a convenient, easy-to-pack treat.

The squirrels, rats, and mice love them, and the squirrels get to eat their blocks fresh out of the oven. The nuts make the blocks softer and easier to eat, and since they're baked fresh to order, they're always fresh. The blocks are also nutritionally complete, so they're easy for squirrels to digest. The blocks aren't as soft as the other blocks we tested, but they're not hard and crumbly, either. The squirrels and rats aren't as picky as the birds, so many of them ate the blocks without complaint. The squirrels, flyers, and rats all seemed content with the blocks, and we enjoyed watching them put up a good fight when we tried to steal their blocks. The blocks are slightly more expensive, but we think they're worth it. They're easy to prepare, and they make entertaining squirrel-watching a lot easier.

Exotic Nutrition Premium Nut Mix - Unroasted, Unsalted Walnuts, Hazelnuts, Almonds - Food & Treat for Grey Squirrels, Ground Squirrels, Flying Squirrels, Parrots & Other Small Pets (14 oz.)

Exotic Nutrition Premium Nut Mix

by Exotic Nutrition

NUTRITION - Provide great variety and nutrition for for Grey Squirrels, Ground Squirrels, and Flying Squirrels. Also great for Parrots!

This nut mix is a healthy, protein-rich treat that squirrels and other small pets love. It's perfect for ground squirrels, flying squirrels, and prairie dogs, and it's also good for gray squirrels, marmosets, parakeets, and other small birds. The nuts unsalted and raw, so they're packed with healthy vitamins and minerals. And they're unroasted, so they contain as many of the healthy oils from the nuts as possible. The nuts are very small, so they're easy for small pets to chew and digest, and they don't create a mess. The downside of this treat is the price. The nuts are packaged in 14-oz. bags, so they're a little expensive: $17 for 14 oz. of nuts. However, they're also very fresh, and even if you only feed your pet a handful of nuts at a time, they'll last for months. So with proper care, these nuts should last longer than treats from other brands.
