- Squirrels need a home to protect them from danger, from harm and to help raise their kits.
- A nest box is perfect for giving them a safe secure place to live.
- This squirrel box is made from pinewood which is 100% FSC® certified.
- The wooden structure is finished with a zinc roof.
- This nesting box has multiple entrance/exit holes so that they can quickly flee if they sense danger.
- Easy to hang from the pre-drilled eyelet on the back of the box (fixings not included).
- Hinged side door to enable easy cleaning.
- Measures: (H) 29 x (W) 25.5 x (D) 26.5 cm.
- Label attached to provide information on where to site your box and how to care for it.
- It is suitable for the Eurasian red squirrel, Eastern grey squirrel, American red squirrel and Fox squirre. Squirrels usually nest at least 6 metres from the ground and build nests close to a trunk or fork in a tree.
- Squirrels do not hibernate in winter but may stay home for several days in cold weather only coming out regularly to find food.
- Remember to leave a small source of food out for them i.e mix of nuts, seeds, fruit and vegetables, but only do this irregularly so that they don't come to rely on you as they need to continue to search for natural food sources.
- The FSC®label guarantees that the wood used in this nest box comes from trees that are replaced or allowed to regenerate naturally.
- Parts of the forest are protected entirely, in order to protect rare animals and plants.
- FSC® is the only wood certification scheme endorsed by the major environmental charities, including WWF, Greenpeace and The Woodland Trust.
