Highlighted Reviews
"It was okay but I expected more peanuts to be in the mix. I bought it to feed the squirrels but they don't really like it. The turkeys like it better but not for what it was intended."
"We live in the suburbs but get a lot of wildlife finding their way to our house. I bought this critter food and they all love it and don't leave anything behind. The neighbors put out cat food for them also. Guess they are happy...and fat!"
Bottom Line
Overall, it's a decent choice for wild bird and small pet food but may not be ideal for those feeding squirrels specifically.
