Daily Family Farms: Corn for Squirrels
Hello there, animal lovers! Do you enjoy seeing your furry friends frolicking in your backyard—not just the ones that come inside with you—but squirrels too? If you really love them, then you’ll keep them fed, so they can stay healthy and strong. This is especially important if you want to keep them around.
Corn for Squirrels
Sure, squirrels are used to having to fend for themselves, but must they? Do you send your dog out into the forest to find a meal, or do you give them a helping hand (in the form of a food-filled dish)? Many people get considerable enjoyment from feeding wildlife.
In a similar way, you can help out the squirrels by buying feed from Daily Family Farms. We provide both feed and cob corn for squirrels. Although they will gratefully consume either, they tend to enjoy the challenge of picking it directly from the cob: think of it as a chew toy and a meal in one package.
Another thing to consider is how you are going to present the corn to the squirrels. Wildlife should always be treated with respect. For the safety of you and the squirrels, it’s a good idea to put out a feeder to keep some distance between man and animal. Also, remember that putting out food for animals can condition them to come back for more. So if you do or don’t want animals coming around a certain area, then you’ll want to make sure that you place the feed accordingly.
What NOT to Do
While we are enjoying feeding the squirrels and watching them jump and fly from tree to tree, be careful what you are giving them. Just like us, they need to watch what they eat and get a good, healthy, balanced diet. That being said, you should definitely avoid sugary and fattening foods—in the same way that humans are encouraged to do. As opportunistic eaters, squirrels will eat whatever they can find, and if you give them junk food, they’ll eat it, they’ll like it, and they’ll want more of it! Be careful not to turn your furry little neighbors into picky, unhealthy eaters!
The Right Thing to Do
This, of course, can be prevented by getting feed or cob corn for squirrels. Daily Family Farms provides both kinds of corn for squirrels in Hope, Indiana. All our wildlife corn is packaged by hand and delivered directly to your home. You can know that you’re getting a fresh, quality product, since it goes from our farm to your home—without sitting on a shelf in a store—after taking a ride across the country on a tractor trailer—after being sorted and packaged by machines in some factory elsewhere!
