Flyte Bat Roosting Box

Description

The Flyte Bat Boto encourage small roosting bats to breed and keep them safe.

When so many bat roosts are being damaged or destroyed annually – it is against the law by the way to destroy a Bat colony – by agricultural practices or change of building usage, then providing a purpose made Bat Roosting Bowill help these tiny creatures survive.

The Flyte Wooden Bat Bois ideal for the small Pipistrelle Bats, the UK’s most common bat, and it can accommodate up to 12 bats. These small mammals are very sociable creatures and prefer to live in colonies.

Different Bat species need different boxes and the Flyte Bat Bois ideal for smaller bat species. Place several boxes on a building to create a large colony.

At the bottom of the box, there is a grooved ‘landing ramp’ or ladder which carries into the boto give their claws purchase and equally, internally, the grooves will provide extra grip.

Bats like well insulated boxes to maintain a more constant temperature and humidity but do not like draughts so our Bat Bohas an entrance slit at the bottom which is just wide enough for bats but will keep out any predators. The bohas a brass-hinged lid for access to the inside (remember, only if unoccupied).

Bat Facts: The Bat Conservation Trust, and many other groups, are working hard to ensure the survival of these intriguing nocturnal creatures. Pipistrelles are one of the UK’s smallest and most common Bat species, so tiny they could fit in a matchbox, and weigh barely 7 grams. But even our largest native bats like the Noctule, weighing in at 30-40g, is no bigger than the palm of your hand.
