We had this beautiful porcupine show up on our front porch, a couple years ago. He was extremely friendly and we noticed he was picking up peanuts that had fallen out of the birdfeeders. Needless to say, we now order him his own 5 pound bags of peanuts off of chewy since he visits quite often! we’ve named him Kyle, and he will actually come when called by name.

The order was correct. The delivery was not good. My normal next day delivery turned into six day delivery. I called and they could not tell me when it would arrive. I have a chewy warehouse an hour away this one order came from Pennsylvania during a snow storm. I was refunded 5.00 for my inconvenience on a 50$ order. And fedex is the worst delivery service ever. I was looking outside when the big box was dropped! by front door. I went outside when delivery guy was still in truck and asked him to put by other door. The boys was mostly open on top and things were coming out. Thankfully full order was inside. Not a good experience.

I bought these because I feed the crows in a little bowl in the mornings. I figured out that they LOVE peanuts & decided to buy a bag. I sprinkle these in with the seeds & they absolutely love them. I watch them hopping around with peanuts in their beaks every morning. It’s so cute!!!! Didnt have any issues with bugs in the bag like others had. Totally fresh!

Got smashed

This is a nice big bag but unfortunately the two huge bags of bird seed were packaged on top of it and they got smashed. Probably should ship separately.

A big hit with the peanut beetles

I breed peanut beetles as feeders. As you'd expect, they love peanuts. I wanted an organic option but decided to take a chance on these since theyre meant for wildlife

I breed peanut beetles as feeders. As you'd expect, they love peanuts. I wanted an organic option but decided to take a chance on these since theyre meant for wildlife. The beetles immediately got to work eating away holes in the shells to let the larvae get access to the peanuts inside.

Consistancy

This is the third bag I’ve purchased and it is again packed with great quality whole peanuts. It’s not till I hit the bottom that I see a few broken or empty shells

This is the third bag I’ve purchased and it is again packed with great quality whole peanuts. It’s not till I hit the bottom that I see a few broken or empty shells. The bags are clean and dry with no moisture so no mold. There are no extras thrown in like corn or seed. The squirrels and the towhees, and probably the possum and raccoons, clean their ‘plates’ and if they’re happy and healthy I’m happy.

The Birds don't know what they are. Crows, Bluejays, Cardinals, none touch them. I started cracking them and just putting the peanuts out to see if they would like them more.

Peanuts in their shells.

I don't want to shock you, but i buy these peanuts FOR the squirrels -- actually ground squirrels we have out here on the Mojave Desert. So, i won't be trying to keep them separate for the birds. The only birds out here big enough to eat them are ravens and they get enough treats from all the trash cans they raid. Any way, they are perfect for other critters, not just birds.
