Pumpkin seeds for lunch

There's quite a feast going on daily for our squirrel population. If it ever stops raining, I need to move all of our decorative pumpkins from the patio, tables and wall. Every year I place them under the bird feeders for the squirrels and other creatures interested in pumpkin delights. They devour them. I must say that the squirrels have terribly messy table manners, but seem to enjoy every bite.

We do the same thing with our pumpkins, etc. and the squirrels love them. Like your pov on this.

I have a pumpkin on the deck and it hasn't been touched. Should I cut it open to tempt them? I would love the squirrels to enjoy it now.

I have two pumpkins being eaten but I never catch the critters doing it.

@joansmor You could, ours just bite them until the hole is big enough to dig into or crawl into!

@berelaxed I have had them bite in before but they seem to be ignoring this year. I will cut a hole this weekend and see what happens. The leaves are thick in my yard - they may be hanging out somewhere else.
