Hello, I recently purchased a suet cage feeder that I attached to my tree to feed my feathered friends. Since bird feeding is new to me I was told that I should purchase a cake with hot pepper included in the ingredients to discourage squirrels. I purchased this from a store, however, the Audoboun society recommended the product....No creature has visited my cake in a cage; was I given misinformation? I should have purchase a loose seed without the hot peppers and just let the squirrels eat this also? Please advise, as I am a newbie at this. Thank you, Evie
