Wondering how to set up a wildlife habitat? We’ve got advice, including the feed and supplies you need to get started!
Your land can be more than just a farm or a home. It can be a thriving sanctuary for local wildlife. By providing food, water, and cover, you support a healthy ecosystem. Attracting deer, birds, and other animals to your property offers enjoyment for the whole family.
Provide Consistent Nutrition
Wildlife needs reliable food sources, especially when natural vegetation is scarce. Setting up a feeding station helps animals maintain good health year-round. It also keeps them coming back to your property.
We stock Purina’s specialty wildlife feeds. You can find high-protein deer corn and pellets to support antler growth. We also offer wild bird seed mixes that attract a beautiful array of songbirds. Using a dedicated feeder keeps the food clean, dry, and off the ground.
Create a Mineral Site
Deer and other animals require essential minerals for optimal health. These minerals are not always available in their natural diet. You can easily supplement their needs by creating a mineral lick.
Choose a secluded spot on your property where animals feel safe. We carry mineral blocks and powders that are easy to use. Just place the block or pour the powder on a stump or directly on the ground. The animals will find it. These sites become regular stops for local wildlife.
Offer Water and Cover
A complete habitat includes more than just food. Animals need a safe place to drink and hide. If you do not have a natural creek or pond, consider adding a water source. A simple ground-level basin works well.
Planting native shrubs or leaving brush piles creates excellent cover. This gives small animals and birds protection from predators and the elements. Cover makes your land a more attractive home for all kinds of wildlife.
