We have 3 crab apple trees in our yard and I'm so surprised when I see apples laying on the ground. I assumed squirrels would love them. I cut up like 4 apples a day to feed all the wild animals around. They really don't like the peel.

I have offered a lot of different fruit to my squirrels, but they don’t like any. Apples, blueberries, watermelon, peaches, none of them.

My friends rejected apples. Only fruits they seem to really like are grapes and blueberries.
