Gleni, LOL ... I have bought so many suet holders but the raccoons still find a way to make off with them. I've bent the wire hangers so much that I thought for sure no critter could steal them but they still come up missing. I found an old metal suet feeder beneath our deck when I was working outside a few days ago ... it's one that went missing almost two years ago. Another wooden/metal one was missing from a tree last week but there's still no sign of that one. I've been known to make up a batch of suet and just smear it on a few branches ... birds love it no matter which way it's served. I put peanut butter in my suet and with the heat it melts rather quickly and makes a mess but I don't know how to make cakes like the peanut butter suet cakes I buy that keep their form. I've probably had hundreds of some of these https://www.google.com/search?... metal types over the years. Next time my husband trims some tree branches I might have him cut some to short lengths, ream/drill out some holes for stuffing suet!
