What food can you put out for squirrels?

Answer 1

The main diet of squirrels is: nuts, seeds, fruits, lichens, buds, mushrooms, roots, pine cones, leaves, twigs, bark, black walnuts, Oranges, avocados, apples, apricots. One of their favorites is definitely corn on the cob that is dried and hung up for them.

Answer 2

Nuts.

You can feed them nuts, but it is not good to just feed them nuts. Most of their diet should be vegetables (especially dark leafy greens like collards and kale), with some fruit and insects thrown in. Nuts and seeds should be given only as an occasional treat, and you should NEVER feed them things like corn, junk food and bread products. I used to have a grey squirrel and her favorite foods were collard greens, avocado, grapes, oranges, tomatoes, white button mushrooms and dried mealworms. If you're asking because you found a squirrel and are taking care of it or keeping it as a pet, another important thing is to make sure they get enough calcium and sunlight or they will end up with a condition called Metabolic Bone Disease (MBD) which leads to paralysis, seizures and death if not treated immediately.

Answer 3

You can put out a variety of nuts such as peanuts, walnuts, and almonds for squirrels. Other options include fruits like apples, berries, and bananas, as well as seeds like sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds. Make sure to put the food in a squirrel feeder or tray to keep it clean and dry.

Any nuts, some bread. Squirrels love birdseed.

Answer 5

Chopped bananas, apples,carrots, lettuce, dried ears of corn, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, squash seeds, and green beans.
