Squirrel
The squirrel, a lively and endearing guest to pamper in the garden
A red acrobat with an unmistakable bushy tail, the squirrel delights young and old when it ventures into the garden. Always searching for seeds, hazelnuts and dried fruit, it is easy to attract with a well-designed feeding point. By helping it, especially in autumn and winter, you treat yourself to wonderful moments of observation. AnimalParadise brings together feeders, dispensers and shelters to welcome this visitor throughout the seasons.
How do you attract squirrels to your garden?
Set up a feeder or hazelnut dispenser near a tree or fence, raised and out of reach of cats. Offer hazelnuts, walnuts and unsalted seeds, never processed foods. Placed in a quiet corner and topped up regularly, this feeding point will quickly become a daily rendezvous for one or several squirrels.
Is a nest box useful for squirrels?
Yes: a closed nest box, fixed high on a trunk, offers shelter from cold and predators and can serve as a resting or breeding place. Combined with a hazelnut dispenser, it increases your chances of keeping a squirrel around. Install it in a calm spot and give the animal time to get used to the surroundings.
Our range for squirrels
- Feeders and hazelnut dispensers : playful models with a clear lid or a hatch that invite the squirrel to come and fetch its own ration.

The AnimalParadise expert tip: avoid salted peanuts and processed foods, which harm squirrels. Fix feeders and nest boxes firmly up high and keep an observation distance so you do not frighten the animal.
