Frequently asked questions

What food does this suet feeder take?

It takes suet nuggets and crushed fat balls. The food is not included.

Is it squirrel proof?

Yes. It uses dual squirrel-proof baffles and spring-loaded ports that close under squirrels and large birds, so only small birds reach the suet.

How much does it hold?

It holds 1.5 litres. The feeder measures 19 × 19 × 45 cm and weighs 0.7 kg.

Does it keep the suet dry?

Yes, an integrated rain guard keeps the suet dry in wet weather.

Where should I hang it?

Hang it at least 45 cm (18 inches) from walls, fences and branches squirrels could leap from, for the best results.

How do I clean it?

It comes apart tool-free for cleaning with warm soapy water and a bottle brush; rinse and air-dry before refilling.

Bought both a Suet feeder and seed feeder after much deliberation as they are more costly than your standard feeders- but I’m SO happy I did!

After trying many other bird feeders- that weren’t squirrel proof , left chewed and broken with bird food emptied out all over the grass for the squirrels picnic - These were just amazing!

I watched the squirrels attempt to climb down it, up and over it, any way possible and every time either fall or give up!

So the feeders may cost a little more but they pay for themselves! the money saved in broken plastic ones continuously purchased or emptied out bird food gone in days, it’s a no brainer!

Would love a version for my flutter butter for a full set ,but not for anchoring to a tree or fence as the jar version is too big.

One tip when I put these out as we have a family of clever squirrels- make sure no nearby branches to lean across- i strategically made sure gaps all round where placed as per instructions.

Defo 5*! With loads of birds now taking turns to eat the bird food actually for them :)

It’s nice in the fact you can have suet balls, but I think it’s too complex with the birds to get in

Patricia Wallington · 5/5 stars · Verified buyer · August 2026

Not sure that my little birds find it as easy to pick up the suit balls as my previous feeder and they can only feed one at a time on the feeding station. There is always a queue waiting their turn. No big birds though and we have crows nearby.

I'm so glad I bought this feeder,the birds visit every day and they take turns so no over crowding,it's clean and the fat balls stay dry. It looks good too.

Excellent. I already have the seed feeder which works well so I decided to get the fat ball version as larger birds were devouring fats ball at a rate of knots.

Ruth · 5/5 stars · Verified buyer · July 2026

We bought this to keep the magpies and crows off our fat balls and are very impressed with the design. We already have 2 seed feeders and wondered how the opening would allow fat balls to be added. The design is ingenious but simple and you can either use fat balls or the suet pellets (which we also bought to try out) The great tits have already found them and I'm sure it won't be long before the other do as well. Well worth the investment.

A well designed & constructed feeder; easy to fill & clean.
This has stopped magpies & squirrels from accessing the fat balls while still allowing our woodpecker to feed & has resulted in much less waste on the ground..

Promptly received but I let my boyfriend put them together as it was much quicker! The birds were initially confused and it took them a little time to find the perches as they had been used to a caged feeder but they got there!

We were having problems with magpies getting all the fatballs in the feeder bullying the little birds. Within days of using this product the magpies had given up and the songbirds were getting fed.

It’s lovely to see the birds only eating from this feeder. Very amusing to see the squirrels trying and not succeeding to get at the fat balls.

Well made feeder, birds are loving the new design pegs for them to sit on, was hesitant at first! Great addition for the back garden and its definitely getting more birds visiting!

Birds struggling to reach in to feed. Possibly to big, not falling right.

Feeder made of the usual robust materials but missing the plastic ring. The suet nuggets seem to jam up so next refill I will try loading the feeding tube vertically and see if that improves things.

It’s good but the jackdaws & Starlings eat the lot before any of the smaller birds get a chance. So I’ve ordered another guard for bottom.

I recently purchased a roamwild bird ball feeder because I had so many Starlings feeding from the fat balls and the little birds who I wanted to feed them to didn't have a chance of getting them before they were all gone. Unfortunately I am finding that they can still feed from this feeder as the hatch does not shut down when they land on it. I thought that the latch would close as they are a much bigger bird. I am a pensioner and find it very difficult to buy expensive feeders but I thought this would save me money over time but that won't happen now. My daughter has some of your feeders fr their sunflower seeds and the Starlings don't feed from hers.

Hi there, thank you for sharing your experience. We're sorry to hear the feeder isn't meeting your expectations. As Starlings are a protected UK species and in declining the numbers, the feeder will slow them down but not stop them. If you do not wish to feed them you will need our cage accessory which can be found here: https://roamwildproducts.co.uk/collections/bird-feeding/products/roamwild-pest-off-cage-accessory

I am delighted with this feeder it has solved the problem of the Magpies eating all the fat balls and leaving the small birds without.

Seems to be the only really squirrel proof feeder on the market. I bought this one to replace my other Roamwild feeder which was less squirrel proof. It had more exposed plastic which the squirrels gnawed through and eventually destroyed. I am hoping this one new one will be better.

Great product as always. We have now have 3 of them and the birds love this one the most probably because of what it contains. They queue up to jump on to feed! Great to watch.
