I just want to feed the chipmunks

Do they eat rice

I can get 10 pounds for $3.00

[sluckey]

Rice is not a good choice for little critters. Ever notice how much rice swells when it gets wet? Just google for "chipmunk food". Lot's of ideas.

I feed grey squirrels with corn and black oil sunflower seeds. The special squirrels also get pecans and hickory nuts. That's what I'd feed chipmunks too, if there were any around my house.

[supro66]

That is why I asked

Thanks

Chipmunks and Squirrels love unsalted peanuts.

I buy 25 pound cases every 6 weeks and share with them

I love peanuts, unsalted and roasted in the shell

I got a question

This is my 3rd year for Strawberries in my yard

The squirrels are eating them now

I don't think this is right

They eat the berry and leave the green steam on the sidewalk

[sluckey]

So, what's the question?

[EL34]

They like other things besides nuts.
I have seen them eat wild mushrooms, bones, katydids and fruits.

The chipmunks love fig newtons.

Squirrels own all food.

If you feel this is wrong, you can use a shotgun (but other squirrels will fill the vacancy), tie Corgis to the vine (but they get tangled), waste money on netting which the squirrels will quickly get through.... or admit that squirrels own all food, get your own berries at the ShopRite.

Be glad they are outside in the berry patch. I have them coming in the house. The one came down the chimney found his way out again. The one who came down the radon fan.... well, I suppose his little soul went to a better place, but his corpse lay there and stank. Threw-out a $180 fan.

Can't wait for my jalepeno's to get going around my last remaining strawberry plant. Like clockwerk just as I look at a promising berry and think "hmmm, that one will be good tomarrow" next mornin' it's all chewed up! I haven't had a single walnut either, the squirrels own the tree in my back yard- and tell me so every so often. Time for more beer to feed the slugs, earwigs, and escargot (at 2.99 a sixpac, that's all it's good for)... Corn is about 4" and most of the peas & beans are showing through.

The ants eat my strawberries before I can get to them.

Supermarket berries suck they are green inside picked green and then use some gas to make the RED

Home grown are red all the way thru and sweet

I only get two weeks of berries

I have netting it does work.

 I shot them before while huntting did not like them they can live

Now a bear who drank you beer and goes off you back deck

What kind of bush do they grow on

> you have radon gas?

Around here, nearly everybody does. New homes get venting because they will probably need it.

Most "young" lava flow emits radon gas. My ridge was a lava-crack just a few million years back.

Somehow this was missed until a nuke-plant worker set off alarms on his way IN to work.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radon

"EPA estimates that one in 15 homes in the United States has radon levels above the recommended guideline".

Government map of US hot-spots:

(this map is NOT accurate-- I'm in a dark blue zone, yet most unremediated basements here along the ridge have marginal radon readings.)

Parts of Cornwall England have so much radon that they exceed the limits for an operating nuclear reactor, and there's no reactor.

I live in the southeast corner of PA

Boothwyn Pa 19014
 5410 Chichester Ave 19014
Google map it

When I brought the house 3 years ago they had to put the system in

I see Nj and De are in the blue
Nj was below sea level all sand
De the same high water table not many dry basements

Hey BaBoo! I'm ssurprised that there's not a much higher radon level over JellyStone-Imean-YellowStone park- being that it's a moderatly active point that is also a permanent hot spot (and possibly the demise of the western world should it ever let loose in our millenia).

Supro: that would be a fignut or possably a figmint bush
