Do squirrels or other animals chew it?

The stand is metal, so unless the animals are bored or hungry, probably not. The bin is up off the ground by about 2 feet or more. We haven't had any problems like that, but we're not in a rural location. Good luck.

They have tried to chew through but haven't managed it yet. I did cover it in some anti vermin thing. I think it was bear urine

We live in the "sticks" and so far nothing like that has bothered it, even the bears.

At this point, we do not see this as an issue. None of our customers have reported that animals like to chew on this composter.

No. I have many squirrels trying to use the feeder, and none have chewed through the Ports.

I cut the tabs out, maybe two-thirds off so they're still stubs. The rubber is fairly soft and flexible. My dog eats her dinner out of her squirrel - with her tongue like an anteater. She doesn't chew it at all. She's a border collie (about 40 pounds) and I believe we got a large, and she's been using it for at least 6 months now.

I don't know that answer, but I would say it is safe to assume that anything they make to put in a small animal's habitat is safe for them to chew on. My guinea pig chews on the plastic igloo in her cage and the wooden items in her cage, too. I had rats years ago and they chewed on items such as these and they were fine. I see your concern though, because it does make you wonder what is in them. Some of the chew toys that I've seen are just vegetable shaped pieces of colored wood, no flavor or anything, and that's weird to me, but rodents have to chew. i think the color and shapes of these things are more for us than for them!

Yes, but it's a waste of money. After one week, the squirrels figured out how to stand on the bottom, jerk the outer cage up an inch or less, immediately jamming one foot in the bottom feeder. That holds it up enough for the cage to rest on its leg, keeping the squirrels comfortably hanging on to the outer cage, eaten his heart out. We were stunned. Sad but true!

In not sure, we have tons a squirrels and they are very destructive on other feeders. They never mess with this feeder though. I love it 2 years old and looks like new.

We have had this type of feeder for two years and no birds or squirrels or any other creature has been caught in it. The squirrels eventually chew through the cap enough to get into the tube from the top and eat the food that way.

The feeder is pretty slippery and my squirrels cant seem to get a grip on the feeder itself, so I really dont think that will be an issue with them eating through the plastic.

A persistent squirrel will chew through this HDPE in a day. If you're storing bird/dog food outside, go with metal.

squirrels WILL throw themselves on the feeder, hang upside down gripping the caged shield and eat whatever you put inside..... brave squirrels will do this.

My rabbit does chew on it. It's holding up well to the chewing but, yes, he has chewed it up a bit.

We have squirrels and so far they have not done anything to the turf. They do eat bird seeds that fall from the feeder onto the turf, but I see no damage. Maybe my squirrels are not into damage.

I am not sure if the hammock will resist chewing by woodland creatures. We have our hammock hanging in the woods on our recreational property. We have had it hung up for two months and so far so good. However, I think that any creature could potentially chew on the hammock for examination as a food source or for some sort of animal entertainment or for curiosity. Sorry...that is the best answer that I have. Good luck.

Not sure about squirrels but it does stop birds eating fruits. Make sure fruits are not touching the net.

First of all, squirrels bring to an area...a rat's favorite food, PEANUTS. That being said, I haven't noticed a lack of squirrels in my yard and I have this stuff out 24/7 My last application has been in place for about 5 months with out being touched by any critter. That is just what I wanted.

I don't think you're supposed to let them chew on it. You just brush their teeth with it and put it away. If they inadvertently bite down on it, I don't think that should be any issue.
