Squirrels | Ardentinny Natural Environment | Forum

We've not seen many squirrels around just lately and are wondering whether this is cause for concern. Although we have been feeding them from a box, we've read so many articles in different places saying you shouldn't feed them peanuts - or you shouldn't feed them a particular type of peanut, that we're now a little unsure what's best for them. Perhaps we've been putting the wrong sort of peanuts out and that's why they've decided to boycott our garden! Any advice out there?

Thanks for replying Lara. Since posting, we've actually seen a few more squirrels ourselves so perhaps it's not the end of the world. In the absence of any feeding advice I guess we'll just carry on putting peanuts out for them.
