Squirrels at the bird feeder They are eating all the suet?

I bought a sweet corn suet log.for the squirrels. but they just don’t seem interested. Any suggestions?

Several ways to keep squirrels out of the bird feeders – first, put hot pepper flakes in the bird food – birds don’t mind (in fact, some love the hot peppers) and the squirrels (supposedly) won’t touch them!

Other way – use exclusionary feeders – two different kinds. One works on gravity and weight – when a heavy bird or squirrel gets on, the feeding holes close, so they can’t get to the feed. Other exclusionary feeders simply surround the feeder with wire that is too small for squirrels and large birds to reach through, whild allowing the small song birds access to the feed.

You can see some here: http://www.duncraft.com/Squirrel-Proof-Bird-Feeders-C91.aspx

Then there is the “roller” feeder, that rolls the squirrels right off – “Humorous squirrel powered rolling mechanics harmlessly ejects & befuddles squirrels & keeps larger nuisance birds off while catering to native songbirds” http://www.rollerfeeder.com/
