Troubleshooting

Squirrels are still accessing the feeder

Ensure the feeder is at least 5-10 feet away from trees, fences, or other structures that squirrels can use to jump onto it. Consider using a baffle above or below the feeder if placement is limited.

Seeds are getting wet and moldy

Confirm that the drainage holes at the bottom are clear and unobstructed. Ensure the lid is securely closed to prevent rain from entering. Clean the feeder regularly.

Birds are not visiting the feeder

Try different types of birdseed to see what attracts local birds. Ensure the feeder is placed in a safe, visible location away from predators. Patience may also be required as birds get accustomed to a new feeder.
