No one likes refilling the suet feeder when it's wet and cold outside, but that's when birds need suet the most! Let this automatic suet dispenser do the work for you. As soon as one suet ball is eaten, the next drops into the spiral feeder cup. The Suet Balls (sold separately) are an all-natural blend of beef suet, ground peanuts and cornmeal, and come in a set of 10.

Weatherproof dispenser holds up to five suet balls

Automatically releases a fresh ball when one is eaten

Overhanging roof protects the suet

All-natural Suet Balls give birds vital energy in winter

Save when you buy the Suet Feeder Kit—the Dispenser and 10 Suet Balls

Comments about Suet Ball Dispenser:

I love this feeder and so do the woodpeckers of all sizes in our area. This is so easy to fill and I do not have to constantly check it to see if it needs to be restocked. This will be wonderful this winter as you can drop several of the balls in it and not have to constantly go out in the weather to fill it up.
The only thing I am disappointed in is that there have been a couple of times that I wanted to order the dispenser for friends and they were not available.

Comments about Suet Ball Dispenser:

I bought the suet balls as suggested in the catalog to go with a set of plastic feeders, but they don't fit in the suet feeder that came with the set. I needed to cut them in half and really push them in to make it work. I could see where they would work well in a bigger feeder, but they don't work in the suet feeder that comes with the set of 5 plastic feeders Gardeners sells. The birds did enjoy them.

Comments about Suet Ball Dispenser:

I bought this on sale at the end of last season. It still looks like new, and works exactly as described. Everyone who visits comments on it immediately - so unlike other suet feeders. I've had problems in the past with animals on the rectangular suet holders - no problem with this one - they just can't get in position for it. The balls load easily, and I store them in the freezer.

Much easier to use than the block suets. I can add several balls of suet and not refill for quite awhile. Birds love it, unfortunately so do the racoons.

This is a great suet feeder because it holds so much suet. It attracts nuthatches, chickadees, and woodpeckers. It is easy to clean and is very durable.

I love this idea and it probably would have been good 4 the birds, but the container I used was torn by the squirrels (I am presuming here)to get 2 the suet balls. The ones not consumed are in my fridge awaiting winter.
