Common Dormouse Box 2KS

Entrance: ∅ 26 mm

With a body length of 6 – 9 cm, a weight of approx. 15 – 20 g and a tail of almost equal length, the Common Dormouse is the smallest variety found in Central Europe. It is severely endangered over much of this region, and in many cases has disappeared completely. For this reason, in accordance with the EU Fauna Flora Habitat (FFH) Directive, this animal and its habitats enjoy special protection in all member states of the European Union. The SCHWEGLER Dormouse Box has proved its practical effectiveness and is ideally suited for supporting populations of these creatures and for checking on their ­numbers. The smaller entrance hole and Dormouse barrier makes it difficult or even impossible for other animals to gain access. For improved protection the distance between the rearmost barrier and the tree trunk should be max. 2 – 2.5 cm, which can be achieved on tree trunks with diameter 20 – 30 cm.
