There’s a little box that holds rat poison. I don’t think the squirrels will be able to get into the small opening.

Honestly, the most effective answer is to get a yard cat.

To be clear you want to kill the ground rats while not harming the tree rats.
good luck with that

Go to Home Depot and get some rat only poison

It’s going to be hard to kill the rats and not the squirrels. Like others said get a pellet gun and lawnchair with some ice cold beer and make it fun. If a squirrel gets into the poison it will die.

Squirrel = rat with a bushy tail. I fear violence with a pellet gun is your only option

At the risk of sounding too hippie for this board, rat poison is terrible. It kills so many unintended animals. The rats eat the the poison and stagger out into the yard/woods, then owls, foxes, bobcats, hawks, and a tons of other animals eat them and die too.
You'd be better off trying to figure out some way to make the feeder more rat-proof. Put it so the squirrels have to jump a short distance to it. Put some kind of catcher under it to keep spilled food off the ground. Shoot the rats you see.

Rats will eat meat.
Squirrels will not.
Do with this info as you please. Remember, other stuff eats meat too, so take that into consideration when formulating your plan.
