I was going to ask if those little blue bird suet cages were squirrel proof but there you go! We have a very clever squirrel who had defeated every feeder I’ve put out. I wouldn’t mind if he just took his share but he keeps the birds away!
This is the first time that i found the little cage opened and empty.. new one in there now has not been tampered with even though squirrel has been here several times.. so i think it may have been the ice more or less pushed it open and then he just took advantage.. but we will see... so far so good..
Brats. Lucky for them I think they're cute and don't want to lock them out completely. 
They are doing just fine cleaning up the spills for me!
I like the 0 waste of this idea! Alas, I converted our fireplace to an electric glass insert a while ago.
. I enjoy using it almost every night in fall and winter. The wood burning fireplace was drafty and always seemed like too much work for the hour (or at the most 2) that I would be sitting by it.
I use the hot pepper suet cakes, and the squirrels leave them alone, because they don't like the spice.
thank you
oh wow .. good idea.. have to look for them
Just make sure you wash your hands after handling them... I rubbed one of my eyes right afterwards in a brilliant move of forgetfulness... very peppery...
thank you for the reminder..lol.. i will look for them when i buy more tomorrow..Just make sure you wash your hands after handling them... I rubbed one of my eyes right afterwards in a brilliant move of forgetfulness... very peppery...
