Also called fat balls, suet balls are typically made from animal suet and other fat which is mixed with further ingredients so the product keeps its shape and also to preserve it. A very important point to understand about suet and fat balls is that the quality varies hugely between suppliers – and the poorer the quality the less beneficial they are to birds. So if you see suet or fat balls for sale which are very cheap, then you can almost guarantee that the quality will be poor and specifically the percentage of suet in them will be relatively low. All the suet balls we sell at Vine House Farm are of course of a high quality.

A tried and tested food in the Vine House Farm garden. Our advice is not to change to the lower volume suet fat balls, once you've been feeding the Super Suet Fat Balls - our customers frequently report back that their birds won't touch them.
Current manufacturing restrictions have meant that our Super Suet Fat Balls may look different from normal. The ingredients are of the same high quality as always, but they may be finished differently, depending on how they are manufactured. The boxes of 150 have a smooth finish & the boxes of 50 have a striped finish. The plastic liner has also been removed from the packaging, as we are reducing our use of plastic where possible.
With 50% more fat than our traditional Suet Fat Balls, our Super Suet Fat Balls are a firm favourite with garden birds and an extremely popular choice in most peoples' gardens. They are a valuable source of energy for a wide range of species, with the Tit family especially enjoying them. Made up of mealworm powder, peanut & wheat flour, finely ground & mixed with the suet, giving a pale finish. Beware of cheap suet balls as they can be mixed with sand, grit or sweepings to bulk them out

| FAQ Title 2 | What birds can I attract to my garden with Super Suet Fat Balls? |
| FAQ Content 2 | The main species will be Great tit, Coal tit, Long-tailed tit, Blue tit and Starling, and depending on the type of feeder you use Robin as well. For Robins, the main requirement is a feeder they can easily stand on rather than hang from – which they find very difficult to do – and this Fat Ball Feeder Ring is ideal. |
| FAQ Title 3 | What are the benefits of Super Suet Fat Balls from Vine House Farm? |
| FAQ Content 3 | Besides the high quantity of suet, Vine House Farm’s suet balls do not have the potentially harmful plastic netting usually found on fat balls, which eliminates the possibility of birds getting entangled in the netting. |
| FAQ Title 4 | How do I feed your suet balls to birds without the netting? |
| FAQ Content 4 | The best way is to use a special hanging feeder specifically designed for suet balls, and we sell a wide range of these including some with an outer cage to prevent larger birds such as Jackdaws getting to the food. |

Really enjoyed .especially by the babies.

Much softer than other companies and incredibly popular with our garden birds. I will order again.
30/07/2020Graham Barnett
I have been buying bird food from Vine House Farm for many years and have always found the products to be good, reasonably priced and with excellent delivery times. During lockdown, when the super suet fat balls were, for a time , unavailable from Vine House, I tried two other sorts of fat balls which turned out to be inferior and the birds simply did not like them. So I and my feathered friends were pleased when the supply from Vine House Farm was resumed.

As always the service and quality of goods from this company is top class.....I also love doing business with this company as their farm is environmentally sound and so much land is given over to helping wildlife and especially birds.
15/07/2020Anonymous
The birds love them! They smell good enough to eat - very peanutty! One thing to point out is that they tend to get a bit sticky in the warm weather so probably better to restrict them to cooler days.
13/07/2020Anonymous
Brilliant, the birds think they have died and gone to heaven!!
11/07/2020Joyce Collier
The birds make VERY short work of them. Never seen anything go quicker.
03/07/2020Anonymous
Cardboard box so recyclable. They are very popular especially with starlings and a hedgehog regularly clears up any crumbs.
02/07/2020Anonymous
I don’t know what they do to make them ‘super’ but I know which the birds prefer judging by the rate at which they disappear from the feeders. (Nothing worse than having to throw away a half eaten fat ball that has gone green with mould because the birds don’t like it). I have to use squirrel proof feeders because even they like them. I used an idea I found in an RSPB magazine to bore holes in a log, fit it upright to a fence post, and fill the holes with the suet, it was suggested that this would give a more natural way for great spotted woodpeckers to perch and feed, it turns out that the woodpecker is not the only bird who appreciates this convenience, as it’s not only sparrows and tits that use it, a young raven has also found it to its liking. (I did fit a perch below one of the holes for the starlings and blackbirds which it also uses). When they come back into stock I will certainly be ordering more.
01/07/2020Brian Hyde
These fat balls have attracted more birds around all day, they cant get enough
30/06/2020Peter Warren
They are an excellent product ..I tried putting out a different kind the birds didn’t like them ! The only problem is when the starlings and blackbirds start they don’t last long oh and that’s without the squirrels. I wouldn’t use anything else

Birds like them a lot.
29/06/2020Rose Nandi
Extremely popular, especially with blackbirds if fed in a protective cage on the ground. In hanging feeder attracts a wide variety of garden birds plus greater spotted woodpeckers. Only one problem : they eat it too fast . All gone within an hour !
29/06/2020Dee Wallace
Perfect ...I have purchased several times and will continue to do so. Great quality..birds love them. Well packed and quick delivery.
29/06/2020Teresa Thurlby
I was very impressed with with the quality of these and so were the birds! Vine house is a great company to order from.
29/06/2020Anonymous
Very popular with blue tits. I put 4 in a caged feeder so that I can feed small birds. If I don’t use a feeder with a cage the jackdaws make very short work of these fat balls. Jackdaws are very clever and I trust they can find other foods.

The birds just love these suet balls, they are always eaten first! Don't waste your money on cheaper 'fat balls'.
29/06/2020Anthony Keith wilson
They're good -- one little problem only. They're so soft that the corvines (esp. the magpies) hang on the feeder and demolish the fat balls in a quick snowstorm of fallout; the balls are perhaps a bit too soft. They disappear v rapidly, though the little birds (blue tit, great tit) pop in at more peaceful moments, and the dunnock quietly cleans up the detritus on the ground. We're rationing consumption to 2 a day, rather than 3, to make them last a little longer! If the fat balls were just a little "tougher", the corvines would have to slow up a bit. But we are satisfied customers, basically. Thank you!
29/06/2020Anonymous
Excellent quality super suet fat balls. Our birds love them especially at this time when there are a lot of young ones about. We will not go back to using ordinary fat balls.

29/06/2020Ruth Juckes
The birds have wolfed them down already: should have ordered 100!
29/06/2020Susan Graff
Popular with all our garden birds, robins, blackbirds, pheasant, partridge, several types finches, sparrows and of course pigeons - even a woodpecker.
29/06/2020Carol Rowe
Birds absolutely adore them and eat about one and a half of them each day.

29/06/2020Ian Woods
As they say, probably the best fat balls in the world. Certainly here in N Yorkshire they are fed on by everything - Long Tailed Tits, Starlings, Nuthatch, Jackdaws, Robins etc etc - they all love them. They softened but remained intact in the heatwave - perfect. Usual fantastic service from VHF. Came with a large sack of Sunflower hearts - yes it is a few pence cheaper buying Bulgarian ones from A*az*n - but that isnt doing anyone or the planet any favours. Well done VHF - great product and great service.
29/06/2020David Friston
The fat balls are excellent. The birds love them, including the magpies which go to extreme lengths to get some from a “Large Bird Proof” feeder. They are clever birds and their antics are great to watch. The fat balls are good value and work well.
29/06/2020Wendy Smith
Birds, squirrels they absolutely love these!! Best fat balls around!!

All our bird visitors seem to enjoy these suet fat balls - their popularity is certainly worth the additional cost compared to others we have tried. Vine House Farm were prompt and reliable on delivery although the packaging of our subsequent order for a quantity of 150 suet fat balls (packaged within one bag/box) did result in a number of casualties!
