I've been robbed!

ARGH! I put out a suet feeder for the BIRDS - yet when I come out this morning, something has opened it and absconded with the entire thing. Bet it was a raccoon, or maybe squirrels. They're tenacious. I think I'll replace the suet and put a lock on it.

Yes, this is what people do in suburbia.....

Hehe, it's so cool you have racoons :)

Whew, for a minute there I thought you were saying someone stole the whole feeder.

Animal thievery is somewhat more forgivable, no? :) Maybe try a twist tie around the latch to keep out clever little buggers?

My solution

Squirrels got my suet, so I tried a twist-tie. So far, those squirrels haven't figured it out yet.

Like thefannishwaldo above, I thought at first a human had stolen the feeder! Theft by animals is more excusable, if still frustrating. Squirrels are surprisingly good at thefts considering the size of their teeny little brains, and raccoons are very adept as well.

Well at least it's not a possum in the roof. We never had animal theft except when the foxxes would go after the chooks and I grew up on a farm. We had horsies, explains the icon of my beloved cash cow, if the bugger ever races. :(
