Troubleshooting

Birds are not eating the suet pellets.

Ensure the pellets are fresh and have been stored correctly. Try offering them in a different location or feeder type. Some birds may need time to become accustomed to a new food.

Pellets appear to be melting or sticking together.

This can happen in very warm weather. Try to provide them in a shaded area or offer smaller quantities at a time. Store the remaining pellets in a cooler place.

Pests (ants, rodents) are attracted to the food.

Only put out as much food as birds can consume within a day. Ensure the storage tub is properly sealed. Use a feeder with a baffle if ants are a persistent problem.

Food spoils quickly after being put out.

Reduce the amount of food offered at one time. Ensure feeders are cleaned regularly and any old, wet food is removed promptly.
