Kept the squirrels out but kept the birds out, too!

Kept the squirrels out. Unfortunately it kept the birds out, too! The birds would fly up to it and immediately fly away. They wouldn’t land on it. In three weeks of use, while my other feeders were emptied every few days, this feeder was untouched. Finally took it down and replaced it with a tube feeder and that was empty in three days, so location was not the problem. Moved this Squirrel X to another well used spot, and no birds touched it.
Total waste of 40 bucks.
Complete failure!!

Complete failure!! I bought one from Tractor Supply. I setup a trail camera to see what birds used it. The 2nd day it was up a squirrel sat directly on the weighted ports and pulled so much from the ports it spilled a large pile of food on the ground. It emptied one of the top chambers and the main chamber in one day.

I bought this feeder from Tractor Supply. I thought it looked great and quite possibly the squirrels would not figure it out. Within 1 week of setting it up the squirrels decimated the bird food I had filled this feeder with. True the Slammer part worked to deter them but the little beasts are smart and figured out how to hang with their hind feet from the top of the feeder (they only needed a toe hold) and they happily gorged themselves on the feed. I returned it to Tractor Supply and got my money refunded.

I was very happy with this feeder until it rained and I noticed that the bottom feeding ports get wet and the food gets clumpy and stuck in the feeder and its not the easiest feeder to clean.

this feeder was the best I ever had, however it hung off a support on our deck. and the red squirrel could hang over from that support and have a field day.. kept his back paws on the support and stretched over..but I still love it and am ordering another.
On my second one!! Worth it!

On my second one!!
I have one of these feeders in my back yard and the birds love it and the squirrels hate it. I like the wire it hangs from and the metal lid (squirrel chew marks and all). The wire is finally starting to fray so I bought another one when that one finally gives out ????.

Better cleaning directions needed
Apr 7, 2023
My only problem with the Squirrel X 1 its trying to clean it. The drain holes get clogged. Seeds can wet in a severe rain storm. I can use the hose on the feeder compartments but not the base. Need good disassembly directions!
