Desert Valley Supply Spanish Peanuts in Shell – 10 lb Raw Unsalted Wildlife Feed, Smaller Shells for Birds & Squirrels

Desert Valley Supply Premium Spanish Peanuts in Shell is a 10-pound bag of raw, USA-grown animal-grade peanuts with naturally smaller shells designed for feeding squirrels, birds, deer and other wild animals.

These are raw, unsalted Spanish peanuts harvested in the USA and sold in bulk to support backyard wildlife feeding, nature observation, and outdoor habitat enrichment. This season’s crop uses Spanish peanuts — a naturally smaller-shelled variety — which increases the number of peanuts per pound and makes them easier for birds and small mammals to handle. Packaged and labeled for animal consumption only, they’re an economical, high-energy option for attracting wildlife without added flavors or salts.

How do Spanish peanuts differ from other peanuts for wildlife?

Spanish peanuts have characteristically smaller kernels and thinner shells compared with runner or Virginia types. For many backyard species — especially smaller birds and juvenile squirrels — the reduced shell size makes feeding quicker and less wasteful. Because they’re raw and unsalted, they provide a neutral, high-energy treat that wildlife can process naturally.

• Smaller shells increase edible portion and reduce shell waste.
• Raw, unsalted composition avoids additives harmful to animals.
• Higher peanut-per-pound count gives more feed for the same weight.
• Suitable for a range of species: birds, squirrels, chipmunks, and deer.

Where and how should I offer these peanuts to attract animals?

Place peanuts in weather-protected feeders, on tray platforms, or in natural ground scatter to attract different species. Elevated feeders and platform trays work well for jays and woodpeckers, while ground scatter appeals to deer, squirrels, and chipmunks. Keep an eye on moisture exposure: storing and offering peanuts in dry conditions preserves freshness and reduces spoilage.

• Use wire or tray feeders for birds and climbing animals.
• Scatter on dry ground or in shallow dishes for deer and ground feeders.
• Rotate feeding locations to discourage unwanted pests and mold buildup.
• Store unopened bags in a cool, dry place; reseal after use.

Are these peanuts safe for animals and how are they graded?

These peanuts are sold as animal-grade feed intended specifically for wildlife and domestic animals, not for human consumption. They are raw and unsalted, which avoids the risks associated with added salt, sugars, or flavorings. As with all bulk natural foods, monitor for signs of spoilage and discard any peanuts that smell off or show visible mold.

• Animal-grade quality — processed and packaged for wildlife feeding.
• No salt, sugar, or added preservatives — raw and unflavored.
• Inspect before offering; remove damp or moldy peanuts immediately.
• Keep feed dry and use within a reasonable timeframe after opening.

Who is this for? Desert Valley Supply Spanish Peanuts in Shell are ideal for backyard wildlife enthusiasts, birdwatchers, landowners who want to support local fauna, and people maintaining feeders for squirrels, chipmunks, deer, and many bird species. They suit anyone seeking a cost-effective, high-energy feed option grown in the USA, especially those who prefer raw, unsalted bulk feed to attract and nourish outdoor animals while minimizing added ingredients.
