Do no-melt suet feeders need to be brought in during the rain??? Didn't think to look on the packaging :-/
thanks!

My suet stays out, even in the rain, but it is pretty sheltered hanging against the trunk.

mine stay out 24/7, 365 and don't seem to have any problems, the cheap suet has "melted" but still gets ate off the ground by other birds.

I leave mine out as well, and it's not sheltered that much.

I bring mine in at night, only because the raccoons will polish it off if I don't. During the day it stays out wind, rain, sun or snow. The only time I had any kind of melting was when I had made my own recipe. The birds didn't like it so I just buy the cakes at the store now.
