The best feeder for peanuts on the market. Squirrels cannot damage this feeders. If they can reach it, they will feed from it. The solution is to add a red pepper liquid, such as Coles Flaming Squirrel Seed Sauce from Bird Watchers Supply, to the peanuts.
All you have to do, is to add a couple of tablespoons of the sauce to a bag of peanuts, shake it up and put them in your feeder. This works like a charm!
And NO, I have NO affiliation with Bird Watchers Supply, other than being a VERY satisfied customer!
I have two of these feeders out right now, and have to refill them every other day because of all the woodpeckers (3 kinds), chickadees (2 kinds), titmice, nuthatches (2 kinds), and an occasional sure footed blue jay (my favorite bird.)

For 7 weeks now I have been using this little black plastic feeder with its study metal top. I had filled it halfway with unshelled raw peanuts and halfway with shelled pistachios. It is now almost empty and ready to be filled again. I don't have a lot of birds that come to my yard, but have at least two Chickadees that visit this feeder at least twice daily - they seem to enjoy a few bites of suet, a few bites of peanuts or pistachios from this feeder, and then on they go to the tube feeder for some seed mix. So I have all types of feeders and am not sure if this feeder alone would pull the birds in or not. I have also occasionally seen a Carolina Wren or a Downy Woodpecker at this feeder (when it is more full). Sometimes I see a squirrel spending about 5 minutes to (I guess) lick the peanuts since he can't pull the peanuts through such little holes (unless he is breaking them somehow into smaller pieces). The squirrels seem especially aggressive this season - one broke another feeder but I don't see any way they can break this one - it is built pretty tough.
The reason I gave it only 4 stars is because it didn't come with instructions on how to use the lid so I had to figure that out for myself - it simply lifts straight up on the metal inverted U-shaped bar - pull the inverted U-shaped bar up as far you can first. Then after filling, you just push the lid back down leaving the bar all the way up still. The lid does not lock down and that bothered me at first, but so far no squirrel has been able to lift up the lid despite making several attempts to do so - the bar expands outward some so adds some pressure I guess. I hung it over a small tree limb by forcing the tree limb through the opening of the inverted U-shaped bar. Not sure if this was how I was suppose to hang it but it works for me.
I like being able to offer peanuts and pistachios and have them last a good long while. Since I offer seeds and suet by other means, I think of this as just an "extra snack" feeder which might attract some birds to my yard that I have not seen before. Birdwatching is a hobby of mine and I think if the birds did not enjoy eating from this feeder (even though it may be a bit "challenging") they wouldn't keep coming back.

I really love this peanut feeder. The peanuts I buy are little redskin type and they work very well. The feeder is very durable and the birds really flock to it. I like that it is similar to pecking in little cavities on a tree for the woodpeckers.

The holes are too small. I watched woodpeckers, chickadees and nuthatches try to get the peanuts but were not able to fit them through the openings. Sunflower and safflower seed falls out like rain. Don't waste money on this item.
