| I was given one of these and soon found that it needs to be hung well clear of any place from which a squirrel can jump onto it. Once a squirrel has got onto the nut cage, it will make mincemeat of the wire mesh cage. Dont underestimate the ability of a squirrel to jump amazing distances, and even to rearrance things. I got up one morning to find that they had had managed to free the supporting cable and the feeder was lying on the ground, completely chewed out of shape (and empty). I only got it to work when I carefully hung it by a wire from a tree in such a way that there was no way a squirrel could jump from the side or from below. Since finding this ideal location not one squirrel has defeated it. My dear woodpeckers now visit it every day, despite it's battered appearance from it's previous unsuccessful use. The bad news is that the nearest suitable tree is almost out of sight of my house! Buy it if you can find a location with at least a metre of clearance all around it. Otherwise learn to love squirrels! Grrrr |
good if you have the right place to hang it!

I feel I have to write and support this item, it clearly states on the box that this must be hung well clear from other branches etc so that the squirrels only option is to climb down the wire hence making the tube slide over the nuts! If you are able to find a suitable place it works brill, so much so that my squirrels once they had investigated it never came back to it. I know I live on the edge of woods where there is plenty of food for them but they still come in my garden and steal whatever else they can find but leave this feeder alone.

Doesn't work unless you've got a big enough tree

| I loved the idea - and when I first hung it up, it was SOOO satisfying to see them failing to get at the nuts, but unfortunately the squirrel dismantled this within a very short period of time. I don't have a big enough tree to hang it from in my garden, and definitely can't hang it away in a spot where they can't jump to it. So if you've got a small garden with small trees in it don't buy this! |

| The metal base of the peanut holder fell off within a fortnight and so the product was useless. Poor manufacture and quality assurance checks. |
It is not squirrel proof

| I have written a much more humurous account of this device, which was not published. In essence, this device whilsat clever was worked out by my squirrels within three days. The bottom has been removed, the mesh is broken and it is held together with wire. Squirrels are not easily put off by clever ideas and this one, whilst sound in principal has proven easy to defeat. Avoid. |
