A grey squirrel had to be rescued from a bird feeder as it had gorged on so many nuts it could not squeeze back out through the bars.
A resident in Christchurch, Dorset alerted the RSPCA after finding it stuck in the peanut-filled feeder.
Inspector Graham Hammond said that the squirrel had "eyes bigger than its stomach" and had lost its figure while feasting in the wire-frame last week.
He said: "This was quite an unusual rescue."
Mr Hammond added: "I think this squirrel had eyes bigger than its stomach but after it had stuffed itself with nuts, it had a stomach too large to escape the feeder - one which ironically, was designed to be squirrel-proof."
He said he managed to free the grey squirrel, which was not hurt, and it ran off immediately.
