Do squirrels like to eat peanut butter?

Answer 1

They can eat peanut butter, provided it isn't stacked full of sugar.

Wildlife conservationists and wildlife reserve carers sometimes coat pine cones in peanut butter then roll them in bird seed and leave them out for squirrels during seasons with natural nut shortages.

Organic peanut butter would be better than non-organic or supermarket brand peanut butter, since organic is pure, while non-organic usually has chemicals, flavourings and other things a squirrel doesn't need.

Ideally, squirrels should be fed proper nuts (peanuts, acorns, walnuts, chestnuts, etc), since they can store these for later use.
