Wood Nest Box

In the wild, squirrels like to burrow or nest in hollowed out areas. This box encourages natural instincts used in the wild, providing a safe & secure place to nest. Fill with nesting material (sold separate). If purchasing for outdoor use, we recommend using wood stain or a simlar product to help protect against water damage, mold and mildew.

• Dimensions: 8.5" L X  8.5" W X 14" H (2.5" wide entry hole)
• Suggested for: grey squirrels & Flying Squirrels
• Chew-proof metal rimmed entry hole
• Hinged lid for easy access inside the box with magnetized closure
• Slanted roof and underside holes drain liquids and keep the box dry
• Build in climbing ladder on the exterior for easy access
• Interior ridges for babies to climb up & out
• Box mounts sideways onto tree (for easy entry from tree) or can be mounted to a cage interior
• Add some nesting material and watch your pet build a natural nest or provide a warm, fleece nesting pouch to use inside the box!

DISCLAIMER: This nest box is made with bamboo— it is not water-proof or weather-proof. Durability may eventually be affected by pet urine, feces and other debris. If purchasing for outdoor use, we recommend using DEFY wood stain or a simlar product to help protect against water damage, mold and mildew.

Our suggestion is to mount the box high on a tree (exterior use) or higher in your pets cage, top corner of the cage (interior use). When used for breeding, mount closer to bottom of cage in case babies come out and need to find their way back. 

Nesting animals require a safe place to sleep or nap, preferably one that is quite, dark, and warm. Proper nesting material can help reduce stress levels and increase the quality of sleep your pet is getting, all while optimizing their health.
