Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Choose a Feeder: These suet pellets are best used in a dedicated suet pellet feeder, a mesh feeder, or a platform feeder.
- Placement: Hang the feeder in a location that is safe from predators (like cats) and preferably visible from a window for enjoyable viewing. Avoid placing directly under perching spots that could soil the pellets.
Compatibility:
These pellets are compatible with most standard bird feeders designed for suet or loose food items.
Care:
- Storage: Store the unopened bag in a cool, dry place. Once opened, ensure the bag is resealed tightly to maintain freshness and prevent moisture absorption.
- Feeder Hygiene: Clean feeders regularly (every 1-2 weeks) with warm, soapy water and rinse thoroughly. Allow feeders to dry completely before refilling. This prevents mold and the spread of disease among birds.
- Spoilage: In very hot or humid weather, suet pellets can become rancid or moldy. Check pellets for spoilage before refilling feeders. Discard any spoiled food.
