Wire mesh feeder

Design - Wire mesh feeder

Advantages - None, we do not advise the use of this type of feeder.

Disadvantages - The wire mesh design is not good as it may increase the risk of spreading the squirrel pox virus. This may be possible if squirrels damage their gums or paws as they try to nibble at the feed. We recommend that you use other feeders, such as the red only feeder or the basic squirrel feeder.
