Answer 4

Will squirrels are a hardy bred of wild animal. You can set out a bird feeder with seeds it and they well go for that. It seems by looking up on the internet I found that squirrels eat a variety of food from bird eggs, insects, fungi(mushrooms), frogs, and fruit. So really it's nice that you want to feed these animals but they managed to do quite well in the wild with the food around them.

Answer 5

Dried corn, bird seed, sunflower seeds. They will eat bread. They love carrots. I manage a group home for adults and we feed about 50 every day. ours aren't real picky--they eat just about anything we give them--including our cat's food.

Granola w/o peanuts, dried fruit, and soda crackers. They like dried watermelon. To bad about the peanut allergy, because peanut butter spread sandwiched soda crackers is something they love.
