Deker 3,478 Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 Chocolate is worth a try as well, they are tempted by a lot of things but always best to stick with what they know, ie..if they are nicking all the nuts/fat/seeds from around bird feeders then give them plenty of that sort of stuff!! They love water too and must drink LOADS every day (about a third of their body weight)..people always forget this, so add a saucer/bowl of water to the area as well Quote Link to post
