Additional Information
Placement to deter squirrels: The key to keeping a bird feeder successfully squirrel-proofed is the placement. Place your bird feeder 4 feet from the ground and 8 feet from anything a squirrel can jump from. When hanging from a pole by a hook, it is recommended that the hook have at least a 16” distance from the pole. Placing a baffle on the pole or having a caged feeder will also help to ensure squirrel-proof success.
Cleaning: Dirty bird feeders spread disease. We recommend cleaning your feeders weekly, or monthly at a minimum. Do not put your feeder in the dishwasher as the high temperatures can permanently damage the feeder parts. Clean your feeders outdoors with a large bucket, and always wear gloves when cleaning. Soak your feeder in a 9:1 solution of water and bleach for 15 minutes. Then use a bird feeder brush to scrub the feeder with dish soap and water. Refill when completely dry.

United StatesNo birds!
I received this as a gift and I was hopeful--even though the openings look too small for even a chickadee. And, as a matter of fact, after 1 month not a single bird has been at the feeder. The squirrels aren't interested in it either. I am very disappointed.

United StatesSquirrel x double suet feeder
I like the covering. So far the birds at my feeder haven’t preferred it, but I gave one to a friend and her birds love it — A new breakfast place! Better if directions given for filling and cleaning it would be my suggestion.

United StatesSquirrel X Double Suet Feeder
My Dad invested in this type of feeder and we thought we had the squirrels beat....but two of them outsmarted us!! We would watch from the bay window in the living room as one of the squirrels leaped onto the roof of the Squirrel X feeder. He /She kept spinning the feeder in circles until eventually, the screw on top came undone, and the feeder would fall off of the shepherd's hook, and the squirrels would make off with the entire suet block!!:)) After several tries at trying to remedy this scenario, Dad took the shepherd's hook to an Amish neighbor who fashioned it to look like a ram's horn (spiraled). The squirrels can no longer twist the screw on top off! Now if we could just stop the chipmunks from eating the bird see out of the barn styled feeder with plastic windows.... They popped out the windows, jumped into the feeder, filled their jowls and eventually emptied the feeder!!

United StatesBroken Ring for hanging
I purchased this less then a year ago. The squirrels do not mess with it at all. I don't see a lot of birds in it, mostly just the woodpeckers. Therefore, I don't go through a lot of suet. With that being said, I don't have to open it up and replace the suet very often. You have to open the top by unscrewing the ring that you hang the feeder with. My ring has already broken off!! Very disappointing. I was going to order a replacement which is only $1.99. Great deal! However, it is over $13.00 to ship it. It should not cost that much to ship one little item. Really???
