Chubby Monkey Nuts / Peanuts in Shells for Squirrels
Chubby Monkey Nuts, also known as peanuts in shells, are whole peanuts left inside their natural outer shell. They are a simple, high-energy squirrel food that provides a tasty source of natural oils and fats.
Monkey nuts are especially popular with garden squirrels because they encourage natural feeding behaviour. Squirrels enjoy holding, cracking, and opening the shells before eating the peanuts inside, making them a great enrichment food as well as a nutritious treat.
Why Feed Monkey Nuts to Squirrels?
Peanuts in shells are a great way to support visiting squirrels in your garden, especially during colder months or busier breeding seasons when they may need extra energy. The shell also helps encourage natural foraging and problem-solving, keeping squirrels active while they feed.
How to Feed Peanuts in Shells
You can place monkey nuts on a squirrel feeding table, in a suitable squirrel feeder, or hide them around the garden to encourage natural foraging. They are also ideal for use with our Chubby Wooden Squirrel Picnic Table Feeder, where you can enjoy watching squirrels feed up close.
These peanuts in shells can also be taken out and about for feeding squirrels in suitable natural habitats, where permitted. Always feed responsibly and offer as part of a varied diet.
Suitable For
Chubby Monkey Nuts are suitable for feeding garden squirrels and wild squirrels as an occasional treat. They can be used to encourage squirrels away from bird feeders by providing their own dedicated feeding area.
