Crafted from molded vinyl and illustrated in a colorful box, the Archie McPhee Funny Gnome Squirrel Feeder fits over a foraging squirrel's head, creating the illusion of a miniature gnome whenever a squirrel eats. It hangs from a hole at the crown (string not included) and is sized for common backyard squirrels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the gnome head work when a squirrel visits?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe feeder slips around a squirrel’s head as it reaches for food, making the animal appear to be wearing a tiny gnome helmet. The lightweight vinyl is rigid enough to keep shape yet gentle so the squirrel can still eat comfortably. No adhesives or complicated parts — just hang it and watch the effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e7-3\/4\" (19.7 cm) molded vinyl gnome head\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTop hole lets you hang from a branch or hook (string not included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDesigned to sit over a feeding squirrel's head naturally\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill this harm or trap wildlife in my yard?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design is intended as a novelty viewer rather than a trap.
