Backyard Squirrel Feeder (w/Gallon Glass Jar); Rustic Handmade Squirrel Food Box

I love these! I now have 2 from Uncle Dunkel I bought the most recent one a month ago but my first Uncle Dunkel squirrel feeder was purchased at least 12 years ago and it is still in great shape! My very first one looks like a log cabin and it’s lasted 30 years. These things last forever and provide hours of entertainment, not to mention good eats for the squirrels! Now that I am working from home I decided I wanted one within view from my desk. I only fill the jar once a month and it lasts for a little over a week....I want to be careful that the squirrels do not become totally dependent on this feeder. I use black oil sunflower with a few unsalted peanuts in the shell and I mix in some diatomaceous earth also to help with control of parasites. I HIGHLY recommend this feeder. Uncle Dunkel does a great job, they last forever, and they are the best squirrel feeder I’ve ever found!

I luv it. The squirrels luv it!!

This feeder is very sturdy and was easy to install. Our squirrels no longer try to get into our bird feeders, and a few of the birds now pop in to snag a peanut from the squirrels’ feeder now. It has been fun to watch. The jar is very large, so it usually takes a few days before needing to be refilled.Durability note: it weathered two major hurricanes without issue (screwed onto fence & glass jar removed during storm).

Very well made. Keeps food dry. Easy to fill and replace. It’s not plastic (yay) and it’s made in the USA!!

This squirrel feeder is awesome wonderful magnificent made very well but my negative about it. It is unfinished Wood and I am going to have to hire someone because I’m an elderly widow, to put a sealer on this as it will go outside as I am sure most of those purchasing will be placed outside in the weather.

Great product. Enjoyable to watch squirrels do their thing. Should have purchased sometime ago. Buy one and enjoy!!

I'm about to buy another one of these These are so entertaining and I can watch the squirrels in these feeders for hours

UPDATE: We've now had to rescue two Blue Jays who were trapped in the jar. We are finding that unless we stuff the jar with corn cobs (resting on top of the peanuts), the Blue Jays will go into the jar. All the way in. They then cannot get out so we must rescue them. We are now only putting the jar out if we can stuff it properly with corn cobs (along with peanuts for the squirrels) and are home to rescue the Jays if they get stuck in the jar. Not sure how to resolve this, but other than that, we love the feeder (and so do the squirrels and 'Jays). ORIGINAL REVIEW: Received the squirrel feeder yesterday and we set it up last night in a safe area on our front deck. I was wondering how long it would take our squirrel family to figure out how to use this (we filled it with whole peanuts and a corncob made for squirrels) but I needn't have worried. By the time we woke up in the morning they had it all figured out and the peanuts were half gone. The Blue Jays did not like this new set up one bit. They were tapping furiously on the jar now and again and I was very glad that this gallon jar is so thick and substantial and can take the beak-beating they were giving it. We are having so much fun watching our squirrels run past the 'jays to grab their treats. I can almost hear them saying "Neener, neener, neener" as they run by! I like the home-made look and feel of this feeder and it is well made and easy to install. We aren't going to stain or seal ours in case the critters chew on the wood so we'll see how it holds up in our coastal environment over time. Don't hesitate to buy!
