► We investigated how diet affects fecal steroid hormone metabolite concentrations (FHM). ► Fecal cortisol and androgen metabolites increased in squirrels fed conifer seed. ► Fecal cortisol and androgen metabolites declined in squirrels fed peanut butter. ► These data suggest that even subtle differences in diet can influence FHM.
