Beware seeds oil for birds
Fat balls should have animal fat.. its proven seed oils are not good for animals..

Birds love them!
I'm surprised at the bad reviews. I don't know if the composition has changed over the years, as a lot of the reviews are quite old. They have nets if you order them, if not, they come loose in a cardboard box (as I ordered them). Rain or crumbliness has not been an issue.
Birds like them more than other brands. The only issue I have is the size, I don't have that much space for such a big box. One half the size would be ideal

Plastic hazard
Each of the balls is wrapped in plastic mesh. A nightmare for the environment and a danger to birds who can get their claws caught. Won’t be buying again.

Very very soft and crumbly
This are not going to last 5mins. The dogs will get more than the birds as really crumbly and disintegrating before even put in the fat ball cage feeder.

Good quality fat balls, but need microwaving to soften them
I have always bought these fat balls from Zooplus, however, in the colder months they have arrived harder which is normal since they have been in a warehouse/storage.
I therefore put a few in a bowl and microwave them for a minute or so, then they become softer and I the birds can eat them more easily, since many are unable to eat the fat balls when hard. I even break them in my bird feeder stand also after microwaving them.

Melts in the rain
When is not raining they’re great.
Unfortunately they just turn to mush in the rain and cause a mess.

Almost half in pieces
These are very crumbly and therefore fall apart easily. Opened box to find that about a third of the balls weren't balls anymore and instead were in small pieces at the bottom. Won't be buying again.

Net V No Net
After reading the reviews were some said without nets some were smashed on delivery. I decided to get them in nets, all were in one piece but the net was not sealed enough to hang on a hook without breaking, so my partner take the net off. as he lifted the net of the ball the ball exploded and the whole kitchen fall was covered, learned to leave the net on.
All birds loved them will get again

Fat balls
The birds do not touch these. Have left some in nets, some out but not eaten. First time I have used these but will have to go back to usual brand this Winter.

No nets! Well done!
Happy to see they now have them without netting.
This has been one of my favourite products to buy for my birds, but the netting was very irritating and I found it dangerous to wildlife and later on to dispose off (as they cant be recycled).
Only downside is that it breaks easier in the box and through delivery. But Im sure a solution will be found soon!

Poor quality
The balls don't hold together, they get all squashed. All of them had to be thrown away.

Birds just love them.
I bought 2 of the Fat Ball Saver packs.
Great value, great product. No waste, no mess.
Together with the Menu Nature Clean Garden Mix, from jackdaws to blue tits, my bird feeders are busy, busy.

No need for nets
The birds like these fat balls. I would have scored more highly if they were not in nets. Birds can get their feet caught in plastic netting. I cut the nets off before putting the balls in a feeder.

Loved by sparrows
The sparrows will eat anything, and they eat these fat balls happily, but tits and other wild birds in my garden do not touch them.

Net nightmare
As a product this is wonderful. Birds love them and its great price.
But unfortunately it is a nightmare for environment.
There way too many nets. Would be wonderful if they get rid of all the individual nettings.

Great success
These Lillebro fat balls were an instant success in my garden attracting lots of birds immediately and I am glad I bought a 100 of them as I am needing to replace them daily! We have watched the blue tits feeding pecked fat balls to the fledglings on the branch. Will be ordering more soon.

Great!
We usually get a lot of starlings in our garden but I was pleasantly surprised that these fat balls attract dunnocks too! We didn't get many of them visiting with the supermarket fat balls we used to buy. Will definitely order again!

More birds than ever
my garden birds are used to cheap balls from 99p shop.I put these out and they did not go near them.I was quite disappointed.However after two or three days the birds all came back and more birds than previously.I have a squirrel proof feeder with a very tight lid which I find hard to prise open.However the squirrels found a way of lifting the lid and helping themselves to top ball !
