I'd like to reiterate "Never use sugar." Even for hummingbirds it first is completely dissolved in 4X water and boiled for 5+ minutes to keep from fermenting or crystalizing. It's just a bad idea; so is raw honey. Use pure peanut butter with no sugar or additives. Use whole-grain raw oats if you must.
Keep it as natural as possible. Other than that, these are basically good ideas. As soon as the suet cakes become discolored or dark-edged, throw them into the compost pile and put out fresh ones.
