Troubleshooting

Birds are not eating the suet block.

Ensure the suet block is placed in a feeder location that is safe and visible to birds. Try placing it near existing bird activity or cover. Also, consider if the weather is unusually warm, as birds may be less inclined to eat suet during extreme heat. Offer both flavor varieties to see if one is more popular.

Suet block is melting excessively in warm weather.

While designed to be weather-resistant, extreme heat can still cause melting. Ensure the feeder is in a shaded location if possible. If melting is severe, consider removing the block during the hottest parts of the day and replacing it later, or switching to a more heat-stable food source during heatwaves.

Ants or other insects are attracted to the suet block.

Ants can be a common issue. Try using an ant-baffle above the feeder or ensure the feeder pole is greased (if applicable and safe for birds). Keeping the feeder area clean can also help reduce attraction.

The block is too large for my feeder.

The Honeyfields Suet Block can be broken into smaller pieces. Use a clean knife to carefully cut the block into desired sizes that fit your specific feeder type.
