Squirrels Eat Raspberries, Suet and Survive Tree Falls
Squirrels are opportunistic omnivores that readily consume raspberries, gaining vitamins C and K, minerals such as manganese and copper, fiber, antioxidants and water. They also eat suet, especially in colder months, attracted by its high calorie content and added ingredients like seeds, nuts and dried fruits. Their small size, fluffy fur and low terminal velocity enable them to survive typical falls from trees with little or no injury.
These dietary habits and physical adaptations explain why squirrels can thrive in gardens, bird feeders and forest canopies, often causing frustration for gardeners when they raid raspberry patches or bird‑feeder suet cakes.
