The all new Bat Box 3FF, developed on the basis of the very popular 1FF Bat Box. 

In order to satisfy current practical requirements (self-cleaning, universal use and easy inspection), the new self-cleaning 3FF bat box has been developed with two product options. (with inspection hatch and without inspection hatch).

Bat species that tend to roost in caves require larger hanging space so this bat box is ideal, at the same time it is possible to move between hanging zones internally, to adjust to weather induced changes. Depending on the temperature the animals can vary in the height in which they hang, and in cold weather they move closer together and on hot days there is sufficient space for the mto spread themselves. 

The 3FF also provides sufficient space for larger groups of female bats which convene in nursery roosts. If inspections are neccesary it is recommened to purchase the model with the inspection hatch, our product code 10195.

 

In the late summer the enlarged interior volume is an advantage, especiallyas a transition and mating roost. 

It is self-cleaning, i.e the Bat droppings can fall our freely from the underside without blocking the entrance, if the box is densly occupied. On the one hand, the special design of the entrane slot prevents excessive incident light and draughts, and on the other it also enables pregnant animals to acess the box safely.

This model is also available with an inspection hatch - product code 10195

With Inspection Hatch:

If increased inspection frequency is planned for these boxes, we recommend the 3FF model with additional inspection hatch. Thank so the hatch, the whole interior can be inspected with a mirror or torch. In the version without hatch, the interior cannot be examined completely without opening the front panel.

Recommended Installation:  3M higher and higher on trees, posts, hunting hides and walls

Material/Fixings:  Made from the wel-know SCHWEGLER wood-concrete mix. The 3FF is supplied with hanger and aluminium nail.
