Pennington Pride Squirrel & Critter

I picked up the Pennington Pride Squirrel & Critter Blend (10-lb bag) after I installed a squirrel-proof bird feeder and immediately felt guilty watching my furry gymnasts pull Cirque-du-Soleil moves for a single sunflower seed. This mix—corn, black-oil sunflower seeds, and whole peanuts—was the peace offering they deserved, and it’s been a runaway success ever since. What I love Happy, distracted squirrels. The moment I filled their new feeder, my regulars abandoned the bird station and set up camp at their own all-you-can-eat bar. Zero raids on the bird seed since. Crowd-pleasing recipe. Those three favorite foods mean almost no waste left behind. Stays fresh. Kernels and peanuts look clean and dust-free. Great value. Ten pounds lasts me a couple of weeks with daily refills—and it’s still cheaper than replacing spilled bird seed. A couple of tips Pair it with a dedicated squirrel feeder (I mounted a tiny picnic table to the fence) so the critters aren’t scattering seed on the ground. Place the feeder where you get a front-row view—near a window or patio rail—so you can enjoy their happy little food-coma faces while you sip your coffee. 😉 Bottom line: If you want guilt-free bird watching and front-row squirrel entertainment, this blend is a no-brainer. My squirrels have officially upgraded from petty thieves to honored dinner guests!

An update on my earlier review, the squirrels are loving the corn so I am very happy about that.. they just didn't love it in the first place that I put it but they love it where I go a lot..

I was super pleased to find this available online, as I can never find it at a local retailer. The mix quality is fantastic; there is an ample amount of each type of food and the squirrels and birds love it! The packaging was secure so the bag wouldn't tear and the shipping speed was fast! It's also a really top-quality for such an affordable price! Highly recommend.

I have daily visits by squirrels for food and water. I built two separate platforms on our fence for them to sit and eat, and there are various watering stations around the property. I do this so that they leave my flower beds, blueberry bushes, and vegetable gardens alone. It is a good relationship provided that I don’t neglect them (they give me reminders if the food runs out). They love this critter food mix. I have also seen some birds messing with the food.

I've been purchasing this product for a while but have noticed that there is a lot of corn in it that the squirrels and birds leave until last (which means it's on the floor). The quality is always good though.

The birds love this food. It smells good and it must taste good to the birds too because they sure do eat it. Good qualities stuff.

Bought to try out...Squirrels avoid the corn and fight with the Blue Jays over the peanuts. They'll eat the sunflower seeds if the other birds dont nab them first. And the poor possum will only eat so much corn. Ill keep looking.

They gobbled it and asked for more. Little gluttons - fun to watch the food fight !
