Suggest contacting manufacturer, or supplier/distributor, that info should be on Amazon website. We've not had squirrel breakage, just feeding. Try Vaseline or WD 40 on dome cover,hook, or staff. Move it away from tree branches in jumping distance.

I don't know about the replacements, but you should get a squirrel baffle so they can't climb up the pole to your feeder. The pole should also be placed as far away from tree branches as possible, as they can leap onto the feeder. Sorry you're having trouble with squirrels - they're very persistent, but I haven't had a single problem since I got my squirrel baffle.

I have not had the feeder long enough to give you an honest answer. My best suggestion would be to call the manufacturer.

In my opinion absolutely! I have owned numerous plastic feeders that squirrels and coons have destroyed. I own three of these and have not has any issues.

I don't think you can. The baffle that keeps the squirrels away broke during the tough winter we had last year. I tried to contact the company but they had gone out of business. I eventually had to buy a new one at Benny's (cheapest around).

Hi Janice,Not sure why your feeder plastic cracked. I have had a number of these over the years and have never had one crack w/o a reason. Usually because a squirrel or raccoon has knocked it to the ground and by that time it's getting old so I just get a new one. However, if it is fairly new, you might want to check the manufacturer's Web site to see if replacement parts are available.

I know from experience that this is best used indoors. Several years ago, my mother had a bird feeder in the yard and kept the food in a latched container much thicker than this one. The squirrels simply gnawed their way through the plastic and had themeslves a feast. I had to hunt for one of those old-fashioned round metal garbage cans after that, which finally solved the problem. Save yourself the time and money and stay away from plastic.

My best guess would be to contact the company: http://www.evriholder.com/ and ask if replacement parts are available for purchase. Good luck!

Good question .... I've not found any source to-date with what you're looking for - AKA Varicraft parts. I'm trying to remember the previous company name ( something like Woodland I believe) That stated, I've got 2 clips from an old feeder that served me well for 10+ years that needed several of the plastic feed windows replaced and I decided to dump it for this new one. But, I saved the clips and you can certainly have one but how to make that happen??Happy Holidays,John

This rope is a standard twine. While we do not offer the twine as a replacement part, a local hardware store may have something similar in stock. We are happy to offer additional tips to help prevent squirrels from damaging the feeder, please feel free to contact our Consumer Relations Team at 1-855-PERKYPET (1-855-737-5973) for additional assistance.

No need to replace unless damaged. Just clean regularly and bee guards should last as long as the feeder.

I just buy regular bird food. I left up the top of the bird feeder and put it in. Then I put the top back down on it. I then take a piece of black electrical tape and put it around the bottom of the top. I do this because I have watched squirrels push the top of it up and over so they can get food from the top. I hope this helps you out some.

They managed to knock down and badly damage by gnawing on the edges, two of them! I gave up on this design. Amazon does have a pricey vertical "squirrel proof" feeder I bought 4-5 years ago (around $65), and it IS totally safe from squirrels. I've watched squirrels on it several times, totally frustrated and defeated. Worth the money.

I have never seen the plastic insert sold separately. I have owned several of the same type of bird feeder andhave always replaced the entire feeder when the plastic insert started cracking, but you might want to connectwith the manufacturer of the feeder. Maybe they have a website you can search on. Hope you find what you need.LB
