Can you put a squirrel baffle on it?

Sure... Just make sure the baffle clamp will open up far enough to accept the 3/4" diameter square pole.

Won't work with a baffle that has to slide on the pole. Needs a wrap-around style baffle.

Yes, you need to already have a pole with mounting bracket or get one seperately. I already had one that we reused. The feeder has predrilled holes in the bottom for the bracket. Hope this helps! If you live in the country, o highly recommend the raccoon baffle, also available thru Amazon. I have had it about 4 months now and not a squirrel or coon has gotten past it :)

Yes, but it's a waste of money. After one week, the squirrels figured out how to stand on the bottom, jerk the outer cage up an inch or less, immediately jamming one foot in the bottom feeder. That holds it up enough for the cage to rest on its leg, keeping the squirrels comfortably hanging on to the outer cage, eaten his heart out. We were stunned. Sad but true!

I think your pole is too big. Mine is about one and 1/2 inches in diameter and the baffle just won't fit. The best thing I did was to hang a corncob nearby for the squirrels. They are as much fun to watch as the birds. Since I did this, they no longer even look at my bird feeders. Now my problem is the raccoons. I wish they were as easily distracted as the squirrels. Good luck - I hope you find a solution but I don't think this baffle will work for you.

I do not know but I would not want to harm a squirrel. A live-catch trap and relocation would be a better solution. There are probably squirrel repellents that could also be used. Good luck.

If your pole has a shepherds hook on the end, then the answer is yes. My pole came apart in the middle, so I was able to leave the lower half buried in the ground and slide the baffle up on the straight end of the upper part. Hope this info helps.

Instructions included with the baffle were pretty clear - but if you do not have them, There is a clamp included with the baffle - attach the clamp to the pole (it has screws to tighten) and slide the baffle down onto the clamp from the open top of the pole. Then attach your feeder to the top of the pole.

Probably not. As long as you can remove anything at the top end of the pole to slide the baffle down from the top, you should be good to go.

There should be a little metal part that is attached to the baffle with a little zip tie. It is small. It has two screws. You unscrew it and screw it to the pole and the baffle goes on top and sits on it. It makes the baffle wobble if a squirrel tried to climb on it. That is the only other part there is (2 parts total). Very easy to assemble and so far I have no squirrel or raccoon problems! I am very happy! I bought it because it said it would work on a regular Sheppard's hook (which I already had) and they are right it does fit great. The kind you can get at Home Depot or Lowes.

The torpedo is held in place by a ring that is attached to the pole. The torpedo is meant to stop varmints from getting up the pole and onto the feeder. I think that a dome-like baffle would be better suited for hung feeders since you are trying to prevent squirrels from going down the wire and onto the feeder. Good luck!

It doesn't need a baffle if it is hung correctly. Mine is hung on a rope between trees. Occasionally a squirrel finds it's way, but the birds rule. They also get along with each other---remarkably. Hope this helps.

Yes. The baffle has three claws and a 2mm foam sealer. Just push and rotate.

I don't think it is large enough for a grey squirrel. The box lists rats, chipmunks, red and flying squirrels.

Guess I am not quite sure what you mean, but the feeder has a wire piece at the top to hang on hook. Nothing on the side can be used as it would spoil the squirrel busting mechanism.

No..The hole in the squirrel baffle is round, so the clamp on the baffle will no secure correctly. The baffle does a good job so I suggest that you get a round pole.

Here's our answer for the chipmunk issue - they generally are not as crafty as squirrels, and will try to get at the feeder from the ground. So, a if yours hangs on a shepherds hook or pole, you can buy narrow tube like (look like rockets) metal baffles that attach at the pole level and stops chipmunks from shimmying up the pole. It works very well.

The diameter of the pole is 1 inch according to my measurement. I don't know about anything about squirrel baffles, so I can't answer that part, sorry.
