But it is worth considering the fact that proteins cannot eat all the foods we are used to.

What can you treat a squirrel with?

Nuts

Many people know that squirrels have a whole history with nuts. The animals have a passion for this food product. For the animal's body, this is the best option for a treat.

Experts note that squirrels can be given any unroasted nuts. However, one should be careful with almonds: squirrels should not eat them in large quantities.

But peanuts are generally prohibited.

Fruits and dried fruits

This is an ideal treat for park dwellers, so you can safely treat them with fruits and dried fruits. Apples, pears, peaches, figs, berries, bananas, kiwi and even avocados with grapes are especially good.

Vegetables

You can also offer squirrels a "vegetable menu". You can choose corn, leafy vegetables, cabbage, carrots, radishes and pumpkin.

Sunflower seeds and bird food

Squirrels respond well to various raw seeds and will gladly accept such an "offering". You can also buy any bird food and treat the animals.
