Everytime I put nuts out in the garden to feed the birds, my nuts get stolen by pesky squirrels. Does anyone know of any deterrents to prevent my nuts being violated by troublesome rodents.? Thanks

HELP!!!!! My nuts are under attack?
How do I attract Blue and Great Tits to feed and nest in my garden?
I live in England,
I have a wire mesh cylinder feeder under an archway covered in ivy,
I have a seed feeder (also under the arch)
And fat balls in a few places.
The feeder is nearly always covered in house sparrows and no other birds seem to want to come.
I also lots of bird boxes all over the garden,
On the kitchen extension,In the hedge ect, ect…
I was just wondering how to attract their attention
Thanks 
How much $$ should I offer my friend to take care of my animals while I’m on vacation?
I’ve got 2 rabbits that need to be fed and watered twice a day, and 3 cats that need to be checked. And a bird to feed and water too. My dogs are going to be boarded. And water the garden in the evening.
I was thinking of offering her $10 per day. She only has to drive across town, but she has to come over twice a day. Is that a reasonable offer?
We live in a small town. It take more time for me to get in my car than it does for me to drive to her house.
The thing that will take the longest is to water the garden at night, maybe 30 minutes at the most.
I will not change my rabbit’s feeding schedule.
And I’ll be gone for a week.
Baby Birds – Need help ASAP!!?
Please help me! I have 2 baby blackbirds in my back garden. They are not even the size of my fist. Their mother continues to feed them in the corner of my garden on the ground (they fell out of a tree). All is well, however there is a cat going around our area. The reason they fell out of the tree was because the cat attacked their nest. We tried to get them into a box lined with newspaper to keep them warm, however we were unsuccessful. They scattered, but we managed to get them into the corner together, so they can keep warm together. The mother is still feeding them, but they cannot yet fly and are under constant threat of being attacked by the cat. We were thinking of putting them into our shed in a box and feeding them ourselves so the cat won’t attack them, but is it alright to take them away from their mother? We cannot put them back into their nest because it is too high – PLEASE HELP!
Snails in small garden?
I have a very small walled garden containing only lawn. When it rained the other day I noticed thousands of baby snails climbing the walls and on my verandah. How can I get rid of them without putting down any poisons, as I have small birds feeding there daily. Please help. I also notice slugs appearing on the walls at night, but they are not many (yet).
