The squirrels chewed out the plastic inserts in the holes. Are there plastic inserts available for purchase??

They did the same thing to mine. I don't know if they're available or not. I put duck tape over the holes that they chewed. Mine were the bottom feeder holes.

Yes, I just bought 10 of them, as I had the same problem. They are $0.52 each and you can get them at the Perky Pet website: http://www.birdfeeders.com/store/parts/7103port-r

I cannot answer the question about the plastic insert. I bought the seed container at Green Cove Springs Ace Hardware in Florida without the pole. I was able to purchase the pole through the company on line. All I did was google the company name and order with them. Squirrels, or at least Florida squirrels can climb the pole and get to the seed.

I would try to plug the hole, possibly by using Super Glue to stick a piece of plastic on it. Might look weird, but the birds won't know the diff.

It's been several years since I had this feeder -- so I don't recall what plastic cap there was. The squirrels did so much damage, I junked it. Sorry I can't help.

I had a bear get at two of my feeders last year and he broke the bases. On chance, I emailed More Birds and they sent me replacement parts! It would be worth an email.Jim

Hi Janice,Not sure why your feeder plastic cracked. I have had a number of these over the years and have never had one crack w/o a reason. Usually because a squirrel or raccoon has knocked it to the ground and by that time it's getting old so I just get a new one. However, if it is fairly new, you might want to check the manufacturer's Web site to see if replacement parts are available.

I Googled "pet tray replacement" in shopping and came up with several options, most of them reasonably priced. I can't believe I never thought to look for a replacement instead of aiming toward repair, so thank you for this (my tray is looking...well, unfortunate). And if you find something to cover the shelves, will you let me know?

Asked FP that very question. Short answer: No. Long answer: you can buy them from eBay, but folks are charging more than I'd pay for a bit of plastic.

I've got two of these feeding stations and need new dishes for both. I haven't seen them for sale as stand alone items anywhere :O( It's a poor do, as the plastic dish is obviously the bit that's going to break or get blown away within a season or two.

The brand of feeder is called Birds Choice. They have an extensive website that would probably have a replacement screen tray. They also have a place on the website to ask questions.

Yes, replacement flowers can be purchased. They are available both online (Amazon, e.g.) and in stores that carry the Perky Pet feeders.

Contact manufacturer directly. They do not sell replacement parts, but may replace the new bottoms for you. They had a great customer service area when I needed a replacement for my feeder.

I'm pretty sure you dont need extra holes. There are times that I've left them in there for a couple of days, accidently, and they are fine. But the trap is full of poop. I'm glad you're concerned about their welfare. They are so cute!

The manufacturer doesn't have another one to replace it, but I am sure you could research online to find a new one since it is just a large mason jar. Amazon was great though, when I broke my jar they gave me a brand new squirrel feeder since there was no jar replacement! Contact amazon and see what you can work out.

Not in our neighborhood. The red squirrels simply hang upside down from the roof and have a feast. I added a roof extension using a sheet of polymer plastic (the kind you use as a cutting board). Now when they try to hang down, it collapses and dumps the buggers on the ground.

not that I know of or have seen, I would go into a pet shop that sells them and read the back to see. Good luck!
