The place to find nesting boxes, feeders, gifts and more!
This made to order nesting box is nice for either grey squirrels or fox squirrels.
Specs:
Approx. dimensions: 15" H 10"W x 10" D w/ 18 3/4" backboard.
-No interior predator guard
-Half interior predator guard or
-Full interior predator guard
-Screw Closure, as pictured and recommended so predators can't open the box in a tree.
-Barrel bolt closure, perfect for easy opening in release cages, NOT recommended for hanging in trees as raccoons can easily open them.
SEALING:
We now offer to seal our boxes with non toxic sealer. It is a polymer soy based sealer and does not resemble the polyurethane sealers in any way. The sealer has no odor and is barely detectable. It leaves a slightly rough surface which is good for the squirrels. They will not slip off it like they would a traditional sealer. Once I seal the box you will not be able to paint or stain it. This sealer is used by many zoos. Sealing the box may alter the color slightly and a reddish tint around some of the screws is an indication that the box has been sealed. You can also pop open the box and feel the smooth, unsealed raw wood interior vs. the rough exterior. Please allow 2-3 extra days for drying time if you are choosing the ‘sealed’ option.
Whether boxes are sealed or not, they will darken over time. This is not mold. It is the natural process of the wood.
If you choose to seal the box yourself be sure to only use a non toxic sealer from a place like earthpaint.net. They offer many colors and you will only need one pint to cover 1-2 houses.

Please be aware that there is no guarantee a particular animal will occupy your house. Houses are designed by me and rehabbers to fit a specific animal's needs but that does not mean that that animal will move in there. Being that the holes are 3”, small birds may choose to nest in the spot. This is something that can only be stopped by pulling out their nesting material. The houses are designed to keep predators out. Squirrels can take a few hours to a few months to move in so be patient.
Squirrels are territorial creatures. While several squirrels may pile up in a box in the winter for warmth, the dominant squirrel will kick the others out in the spring when it’s nesting time. The general rule is one adult squirrel per box.
-If your item arrives damaged, please send a photo within 24 hours of timestamped delivery so a replacement can be sent out.

-Straw, aspen and peat moss are the only things recommended by rehabbers to put inside. Fabrics and poly fil can wrap around the babies and cause death or amputation.

I love my new squirrel house and I love NutsAboutSkwerls! It is constructed with detail and quality and arrived within a week! I just got it up and don't have a resident just yet but I know they are out there as they love the water bucket as seen on camera and are at a higher elevation in the tree. Thank you so much!

5 out of 5 starsThese Squirrel nesting boxes are absolutely beautiful! They look like squirrel condos! They appear to be very safe, they have a guarded door, a porch and are very sturdy. You will not find a better quality nesting box/condo anywhere. The craftsmanship alone is enough to tell you the builder cares about what he is doing.
I ordered 4 boxes and they are really sturdy and great quality! They are bigger than I thought (which is awesome)! I will definitely be ordering more of these in the near future.
Zoomie, our rescued squirrel loves is box. After a slow release he is outside on our maple tree. It took him four days to accept the box in his pre-release cage. Very well made sturdy nestbox. Thanks!

After rescuing a baby squirrel and seeking help from a rehabber I decided to use my degree in Industrial Design to create products for these wonderful little critters.
