This robust squirrel box, made from durable wood-concrete, features two entrances, providing squirrels with a safe escape route in case of danger.
In spring, the box is often used as a nesting site for raising young, while in winter it offers a sheltered and warm refuge.
The box is suitable for the European red squirrel.
If it has not yet been discovered by squirrels, other species such as starlings, stock doves, or jackdaws may also make use of it.
Install the box at a minimum height of 4 meters in a tree, preferably in a quiet area such as a forest, park, or private garden.
Avoid positioning the front of the squirrel box facing southwest, as this may expose it to wind and rain.
The recommended installation method is to first screw the provided hook into the desired location on the tree.
Next, adjust the two threaded rods at the bottom of the box so that both ends make contact with the tree trunk.
Once positioned, hang the box on the hook using the suspension hook. If the box is not yet stable, readjust the threaded rods as needed.
It is not necessary to add nesting material.
Always check carefully whether the box is in use before cleaning it.
Squirrels may use the box throughout the entire year. If squirrels are frequent visitors, cleaning the box is generally not necessary.
If stock doves or jackdaws have nested in the box, it is advisable to clean it during the winter months and remove any nesting material.
