A family run business for over 115 years
Beginning as a specialist retailer of bird seeds, we have expanded our product range over the years and now offer a comprehensive selection of animal feeds, wild bird foods, dog treats, garden supplies and fishing products.
Maltbys' Stores is a pet and garden supplies retailer based in Hull, UK. Since opening in 1904 we have always aimed to provide our customers with the best quality products we can find. Now in our sixth family generation, we are still continuing to look for new ways to provide fantastic products to you and your pets.
We know your animal's needs are very important, which is why we continue to work with our suppliers to find the freshest and best quality products available.
Some people might think of them as a pest, but we know that lots of you love to see squirrels playing and feeding in your gardens. With this in mind, we have sourced a fantastic and comprehensive squirrel food to help encourage those furry friends to your feeding stations.
Squirrels are naturally foraging animals, who love to root about and hunt for their food. Our squirrel food is a mix of barley, whole maize, striped sunflower seeds, monkey nuts in shells, peanuts, oats, locust beans and wheat, which means there are lots of different textures and shapes for them to explore. They will also spend a long time picking their way through to look for the tastiest morsels, which means you keep these cute little visitors in your garden for longer.
Like many animals, squirrels benefit from a varied diet. Our squirrel nut and seed mix is a great base which can be used alongside other nuts, such as walnuts or hazelnuts. Your local squirrels might also benefit from being provided with fresh fruit and veg, such as carrots, chopped apples, celery and spinach. Try shredding or finely chopping these first, to prevent the squirrels hiding or burying them round your garden.
Our squirrel mix can also be used as part of the diet of other small rodents, such as chipmunks. However, just as with squirrels, it is important that you supplement this with a range of other foods, including nuts, fruits and vegetables. Chipmunks benefit from having a diet rich in cereals, so try mixing some extra wheat, barley or millet into our squirrel mix before you give it to them.
We sell comprehensive foods for a number of small animals, including rabbits, hedgehogs, squirrels, gerbils, hamsters, rats and mice, so be sure to check out the rest of our range
