will this weasel pick up immature acorns?

It may pick up some immature acorns, but any that are less than 3/4 full size may not stay inside the basket very well and may fall out again.

Dear Jean W., As long as the acorns are over 1/4 inch in size, and you use a very quick back and forth motion with slight pressure on the basket, it will pick them up- it does for me. I hope this answers your question. Maren

No, not on squirrels. I bought this to use on gophers but discovered that instead of gophers, I had moles. It doesn't work on moles.

It will pick up acorns but it may hurt the impeller chopping them eventually. The metal impeller is much stronger than the plastic one in my older model that I replaced with this model so it may not be bothered by the nuts.

It just does not work. The deer graze within feet of the unit. I do not know about squirrels since they ar not a problem in my garden but I doubt this thin will help.

They may; I have caught one ground squirrel in my Cinch traps. He barely fit. They work well with pocket gophers. Stan

I do not know. I was way to scared to try mulching my acorns. I have so many that I just blew them away with all the leaves. The blower was powerful enough to suck the acorns right out of the ground even after they had been stepped on & covered with dirt all year long.

hose attaches next to pole attachment. mine has no problem picking up acorns. recommend using a lightweight hose. I use a tennis ball to keep the net floating up

My husband did use it for acorns. We had Oak trees all over and lots of acorns. The real big ones you would probably need the larger device. Our neighbor used hers for gum balls. It was a great device to use. Good luck.

I would not recommend this machine for acorns. They are too tough and heavy. The TriVac works fine on grass, leaves, dirt, weeds, etc.

I would agree with John Dinsmore's answer. Also, I think it would be cruel if this sticky resin got onto the squirrel's feet. Generally, netting will work better. I have seen squirrels consume an entire apricot tree fruit in one afternoon. Good luck on solving the problem.

I have a small nectarine tree -- it pickup all the little buds from the tree -- if It can do this I am sure it will pickup acorns

It sucks up these spikey balls so surely it would do acorns since they are much smaller.

We have no acorns, so I have no firsthand knowledge. I would surmise that if the acorns are imbedded in thick grass, there would be few blowers up to that. All if can say is that compared to a gas model I once had that cost almost five times the price of this electric one, this Weed Eater is every bit as powerful.

Absolutely not. The squirrels are smarter than we think, they open the roof with their heads and quickly exit with as peanut in their mouth.Fun to watch as they chew away the outer shell and eat the peanuts. P.S> The Squirrels have destroyed some wooden feeders I had but the metal one looks as good as the day I put it out.

Yes, it does. However, the nut wizard I received from Amazon was the large size. Acorns need a smaller size nut wizard.

No! It's quite entertaining to watch the repeated attempts on the part of the "rats with furry tails" to access the seed to no avail. The only drawback is the frustrated squirrel will often urinate on the feeder. This in no way affects the birds returning to the feeder. I should note that the feeder has an adjustable spring for the closure device that can be set such that bigger birds cannot get into the feeder.

I can't say for sure as I haven't encountered any acorns in my pool. The biggest object mine has run across so far (other than leaves) was about 1/4 inch across.
