Seeds: – Sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and sesame seeds are all popular choices for squirrels. You can provide them raw or roasted, but avoid salted seeds.
Vegetables: – Squirrels also eat vegetables such as carrots, broccoli, squash, and leafy greens like lettuce and spinach. Cut vegetables into small pieces for easier consumption.
Corn: – Corn on the cob is a favorite treat for squirrels. You can offer them fresh corn or dried corn cobs, but avoid feeding them corn that has been treated with pesticides.
Insects: – Squirrels are omnivores and will eat insects as part of their diet. You can attract insects to your yard by leaving out fallen fruit or installing a bird feeder with mealworms or other live insects.
