Hot Pepper High-Energy Suet (DD25)

IDEAL Hot Pepper High-Energy Suet (DD25) is the ultimate solution for bird lovers who want to enjoy woodpeckers and nuthatches without the constant intrusion of squirrels and raccoons. This 11.25oz cake features high-quality rendered beef fat infused with a potent blend of hot peppers.

Because birds lack the taste receptors to perceive "heat," they can safely and happily enjoy this nutrient-dense food. Mammals, however, find the spicy pepper taste highly unpleasant and will quickly learn to move on to a different food source, leaving the suet for your feathered friends.
