Bat Box 2FN
Small Bat Box 3FN BAT CONSERVATION
» SMALL BAT BOX 3FN Material: SCHWEGLER wood-concrete
Specially adapted Bat Box based on the tried and tested 2FN. Thanks to the
smaller entrance openings at the front and in the floor, this model provides
increased protection against natural enemies. Also recommended in areas
with large numbers of dormice. The intermediate floor ensures that it
provides the best possible protection against small predators, draughts and
bright light.
With two access options. The Bats can land on the tree trunk and crawl in
from underneath through the opening in the floor, and fly away directly from
the wide front entrance area. The roost is partly self-cleaning, as some
droppings can fall out of the bottom of the cavity. Nonetheless, checking and
cleaning are recommended if the Bat Box is used by large numbers of Bats.
The front panel can be removed easily for inspection and cleaning.
Supplied with Hanger and Aluminium Nail.

This box was developed exclusively for Bats and unlike Bat Box 2F cannot
be converted into a Bird Nest Box. It is made to the latest findings and has
been used successfully in practice for many years. The intermediate floor
ensures that it provides the best possible protection against small predators, draughts and bright light.

General information on Bat Boxes:
In the case of closed Bat Boxes it is generally advisable to inspect and clean them at least 1 - 2 times a year. However, you should avoid opening
summer and winter roots during May to the end of July, so that any nursery roosts are not disturbed. Winter Bat Boxes (e.g. 1FW) should not be
opened from November to April, to avoid startling the animals out of their hibernation and to avoid cooling the cavity.
