OK Guys and Gals,
Does anybody know what critters besides birds like suet feeders? For 3 of the past 4 days, I've refilled my hanging suet feeder with woodpecker bars and suet cakes, only to wake up the next morning and find that it's been raided. In two of those instances the feeder was laying on the ground; one time a whole new woodpecker bar was gone and the other time an entire suet cake (plastic tray and all) was missing. In the third instance, the feeder was still hanging from the extender hook, but the entire suet cake and tray was once again missing.
I'm suspecting raccoon, but even that's kind of a stretch with him being able to lift the lid on the feeder, remove the cake, and then lower the lid back down (it's the type of lid that slides along the rope hanger).
Anybody have any ideas?
