One of these is the Squirrel Bungee (a/k/a the Squngee.) .

It has a very simple design: a corn cob is suspended 2 feet above the ground via a bungee cord. The squirrel must jump to get the prize, and hang on as it dips and bobs.

You’ll find yourself watching the squirrel bungee for hours.

There’s one downside to the squirrel bungee feeder, however. The performance of the bungee works according to how elastic the material is. This elasticity depends on temperature. Bottom-line: your squirrel bungee may lose its springiness in cold weather.


The good news is the squirrel bungee feeder is relatively inexpensive. And you can order a 12-pack of corn cobs at the same time for under $10.00.

It is called the Squirrel Seed Wheel. If you’re going to feed the squirrels (squirrel feeders are known as diversion feeders), they may as well perform for their meal.

The squirrel wheel consists of a seed dispenser and a large wheel, similar to the excercise wheels in hamster cages.

When the wheel rotates, it dispenses a small amount of seed. The squirrel can run inside it like a hamster in a cage, or simply spin it from the outside with his hand. Whatever method he uses, you’ll have fun watching him try to work out the puzzle.

Diversion feeders (another name for squirrel feeders) often keeps the squirrels out of your bird feeders filled with expensive seed. You can fill the squirrel wheel with less expensive feed like corn and everybody’s happy.

The man who created this ingenious apparatus, Jeff Miller, has stopped making these. If you’re fortunate enough to have one already, happy watching! If not… His business is for sale. Email him at jdmiller49 @ yahoo.com if you are interested.

This squirrel feeder is not just a squirrel feeder; it’s also a circus! The Squirrel Circus was first invented by a man in 2003 as a Christmas gift to his family. They had a lot of squirrels in their yard, and he realized that every backyard is filled with circus performers: they just need a stage and an audience.


He created the first squirrel circus out of a ping pong table that he found mysteriously destroyed in his basement. It was an instant hit, and now he manufactuers them and sells them online.
The Squirrel Circus features these death-defying acts:

The Nuthouse—a small cage that you fill with peanuts.

The Tightrope—watch the squirrels walk across it to get the corn cob.

The Springboard—a corn cob dangler which uses a bungee cord.

The Balance Beam—watch the squirrel navigate across it.

The Trapeze—also utilizes a corn cob to entice a performance.

The Squirrel Circus is made out of kiln-dried cedar which is one of the more weather-resistant woods. It comes with free shipping and a money back guarantee if not satisfied.

And as with the other squirrel feeders mentioned on other pages, it serves as a diversion feeder, luring the squirrels away from your bird feeders.
