Squirrel feeding notes
1, sunflower seeds: to buy raw, easy to buy, so it can be said that the squirrels have to be an important staple food, but also the first squirrel staple because of the price of the cheapest and most critical.
2, pine nuts: raw rarely (that is, without any fried), expensive, can be used as a snack, if often fed pine nuts, it is possible that the squirrels will give up the melon as a staple food, then the cost of feeding to increase more than 7 times, so it is recommended to consume as a snack, 2 to 5 per day.
