The squirrel house has multiple entrances so that the acrobatic squirrels can enter and leave the house from all sides of the tree. In the squirrel house, the squirrel can hibernate, nest or the house can serve as a shelter against martens, birds of prey, dogs or cats. A squirrel can have up to 8 young, which are born around March/May, if there is enough food. If there is insufficient food, the young are born around July/September. After about 8 weeks, the young can be seen outside the nest. It is best to hang the squirrel house at least six meters high on a tree trunk, facing south-east. The squirrels will cover the inside of the house with a thick layer of moss and grass.
