do u feed the neighborhood critters

[keissy2000]

when my chips or something go stale then i dump them outside for the critters. usually its squirrels.

[MessiahMews]

Yes, always.

Usually for us, it's the skins and extras of veggies.

Like the outside of the lettuce, carrots that have been peeled, outside of onions, the ends of celery sticks, and so on.

Our compost and such.

one squirrel wanted to climb up a side of our building making a *bleep* load of noise and so i took a look out of the patio door and seen him on the side of the door and he ran off.

I do  not feed the neighborhood critters anymore. It was attracting possums and raccoons.
This made me leary about walkingaround outside thehouse at night. They are not always in a good  mood!

Nooo but we live in the middle of town and that would only be asking for stray cats and dogs to come around

Besides, I have guinea pigs and dogs that love to eat vegetable scraps and just about any leftover foods.
So only things like onion peels get tossed. Egg shells and coffee grounds go on the plants. I should start composting, but all I'd have to really throw in it would be paper scraps.

We do put out seed, for the birds, and there's a large oak in our front yard, so 'wild' critters can pick up some things from our the yard. And there's a groundhog/wood chuck that lives across the street in the neighbor's shed. We don't feed him, but you see him occasionally, which is a fun spot. My brother had an armadillo that walked his yard and lived in the neighbor's basement.
I haven't caught any possums or raccoons or skunks about, but I wouldn't be surprised to find them. I just don't want them thinking they can use my shed or attic, like the darn house sparrows.

Gotta watch them squirrels, my brother had one die via chewing the electrical lines in a hard to reach spot in his house and it stunk the place up and was hard to get the wires replaced.

No, at least not on person. I have an inside cat, and an inside/outside dog. Both are fed inside, so there really isnt anything for critters other than on garbage day...

We have 3 indoor outdoor cats and 3 indoor dogs. The cats we have now...their mamma died in my arms last year. Needless to say the cats are very special to me, as are my dogs I've had for 12 years. We do feed several of the stray cats. I know it's not the wisest thing to do but I can't stand to see anything go hungry

i used to feed the squirrels nuts out of my hand

[springsgardner]

I usually feed it to my pets instead. It used to all go to my dog. Now, I have chickens, too. If it's junk food or food that is bad for them, it just goes in the trash. When it comes to my chickens, if the leftovers are good for them, it will make the eggs they will produce starting in the next few months that much better!

yupp im a critter well kitty feeder! i have a bowl outside and when it is empty, the 2 cute lil kittys sit on my window sill looking in like hellloooo feed us! lol! 

[champak97]

Yes, I sometimes feed the squirrels stale bread or other items such as chips or nuts.

[springsgardner]

I just remembered that this morning I took the table cloth outside (I didn't get around to clearing off the table last night) and dumped it in our chicken run for the chickens. It was so windy that most of it blew outside the chicken coop. Instead of my chickens eating crumbs, the local black birds and magpies ate it... The same birds eat my dog's food when he takes a nap!

[Adroden2010]

Yes we have stray cats that come around.

[tjshorty]

Yes, well I toss food out, which one eats it I am not sure of.  Might be feeding a rat for all I know.

[lgemini]

I do feed the stray cats outside of my house, I have been doing this before I got my house cats.  I can not stop because they need food and love  too.
