Our stupid tree rats not only ate (and loved) the capsicum suet, they DON’T eat the good plants, they just bite them off at the base and scatter the leaves. .Oh, and feeding them is a BAD idea. A guy down the street does that and not only have they compleatly distroyed the lawn, when he puts stuff out there’s over 100 of the dang things in ONE YARD, for a grand total of maybe 30 minutes, then they all come and invade OUR yards…….Our best deterant (works on the crows & bunnies too) is shiny pinwheels, face them in several directions and they move in the slightest breeze. I’ve also strung up bells with good results, but the key thing to messing with any semi- wild critter is to keep changing things (like move it around).
