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.

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!

Birds and Squirrels Loved These

I purchased these peanuts for the birds and squirrels in my yard so they can have them as a treat and to provide them with some food to put away for winter. I used to purchase Kaytee products for my guinea pigs, so I knew this was a good brand. I purchased two kinds of peanuts, shelled peanuts for wildlife, which I purchased locally, and these. They prefer these by far! These disappeared very quickly. My cats enjoy sitting by the windows and watching all the birds and squirrels these peanuts attract. I would recommend ordering the peanuts with lighter items, so the peanuts do not get crushed during transit. All in all, I highly recommend these, and the squirrels and birds absolutely love them!

Appeased the Resident Squirrel

I'm in the midst of a potentially blooming friendship with a squirrel. I would put veggies outside occasionally, and after a few times, the squirrel started bringing things in return. First, a Christmas cookie on my porch railing. Then, a random bread looking thing in an empty flower pot by the back door. Next, a whole cooked chicken leg thrown against my window and left on the the sill, which was the best gift yet and something I will mention at every opportunity. I began to feel it was time to up my gifts. I bought the squirrel a wooden lounge chair that I stock with a stick mixture of corn and sweet feed. Squirrel liked this but was upset it couldn't take the whole thing, no matter how much it shook the stick. It began to raid the bird feeders in retaliation. I adjusted the bird feeders, and I could see it's frustration. Though it was trying to steal, I still felt bad, so I purchased these peanuts. I scatter a few handfuls into the yard every couple days. Every single one is gone within a few hours, and I haven't seen Squirrel trying to raid the bird feeders since. That's a little unfortunate, as it was extremely entertaining to watch, but it's for the best. I hope this is the beginning of lasting peace in the yard and look forward to the next offering from Squirrel.

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.

Hey lady thanks for the peanuts

These are the best peanuts and the best price anywhere! I would recommend if you are a nut like me and feed the squirrels every day then Chewy is the Best place

These are the best peanuts and the best price anywhere! I would recommend if you are a nut like me and feed the squirrels every day then Chewy is the Best place to buy them. I have purchased lots of bags and this is the best price and Nutsy told me they are the best tasting too! It’s great to have 10 pound bags. I feed them lots of different things but as soon as they hear those nuts hit the ground they come running. They are so cute and funny to watch.

For the Stellar's Jays, Woodpeckers, and Squirrels

Peanuts in the shell are popular with my Stellar's Jays, woodpeckers, and squirrels. I enjoy them all. I know a lot of people try to keep the squirrels away, but

Peanuts in the shell are popular with my Stellar's Jays, woodpeckers, and squirrels. I enjoy them all. I know a lot of people try to keep the squirrels away, but I welcome them. The birds get them so quickly the squirrels don't get many anyway. It's also handy because the pigeons aren't interested in them - so I have other stuff for our band-tailed pigeons. Something for everyone. Makes me happy.

A big hit with the birds (and squirrels)!

Here in the high desert Southwest, we get magpies as regular (and loud) peanut customers. Occasionally they let a squirrel take a nut. The crows are also big fans

Here in the high desert Southwest, we get magpies as regular (and loud) peanut customers. Occasionally they let a squirrel take a nut. The crows are also big fans and I love watching them calculate how many peanuts they can stuff into their beaks before they fly away. We've bought these peanuts for years and they're always fresh, without much breakage (mostly whole shells).
