    It's now been almost 6 months since my last purchase, I've had to make do with servicing a few and changing out straps and bracelets.

    Not satisfying enough. I keep looking but not finding. Tracking but not catching.

    This little fellow keeps showing up and I get all excited, but he always comes empty handed :( and seems only interested in eating my peanuts

    Advice please!

    Ahh. You are feeding the wrong squirrel. This is the one you should be feeding.

    Mate I just broke the bank with my most expensive purchase ever after about six months of being good, being good is overrated.

    No, I think the squirrel is OK. It may just be his diet. You should not be just feeding peanuts. Squirrels have a problem around residential areas. A diet like that can make them fat and lazy. You need to provide some variety to his food. Add sunflower, suet and some other nut varieties. Also make the food harder to get, so that he gets some exercise. Look at Dennis's Squirrel, lean, active. This squirrel wants a watch.
    Now look at your squirrel, fat and sedentary, has his own furniture. Make these changes and I guarantee you will have a new watch in 3 months.


    Here is an example of a squirrel like yours, when properly fed.

    Wise words indeed.

    I've just this minute come out of the garden, the furniture is now gone and a more challenging location for a feeder has been found. This squirrel has had it way too good for way too long - it's me who's going nuts here - he is going to have to start working for it.Pronto.

    Also called my buddy at the squirrel food shop and he recommended this:

    He wouldn't tell me what's in it, but calls it, "Squirrel Gold" and has promised me that I'll see a positive behavioural change within a couple of months. Hopefully it will have the same effect on the squirrel :D

    Thanks for all the help guys

    I feel for you, I love spending early mornings walking around those markets at home but especially when in France. Good luck finding a cure:)

    Get to work, needs silver retaining ring. Get this baby cleaned up and you'll be a contender for the October "Denny"
