I think 4 can fit! Do I win? Do I win? I'll even guess names...ummm, Rrrr I feel an "R" sound like RAY or something? Mmmmmmm I suddenly smell french toast like CINNAMONy and I'm now I'm hearing jingle bells like.....St. NICK and HOLLY berries, that type of thing. Do I win?!?!?

LOL, hes going to love this...

*waits*

o.o

LOL, almost. Ray was a little faster than i thought(i should have listened Ahsaehr), cinnamon has 2 more.

Dang it!!! Does that mean I got it wrong? AND that I have 2 more babies to name? LOL

Oh jeez, Ray is a busy man! lol

Poor Kyro....*waits to see if she edits and says she got it all*

Wow, Scott. You did an amazing job on the nestbox. There's going to be some very happy suggies in the Catman house.

very nice catman

Great nest box! So what kind of wood did you end up using? Will the top be secured or just slid under the wood piece? Wanting to get ideas for making a new box.

That's really awesome, Scott!

Couldn't quite warm up to that chainsaw, huh? I don't blame you. Be afraid, be veeerrrry afraid.

So - you'll probably have to seal the wood. I'm wondering if that'll make it slippery to climb on? The natural log does get a bit funky, and has to be cleaned off, but for me, it's worth a bit of rinsing.

LOL dizzysmom. I don't have any good logs around so i just used some extra wood i had. I used 3/4inch solid pine for the windowsills in our house and had some extra so i thought i would just ues that.I'm not sure if im going to paint or seal it with anything, i like the look of wood and its already slipery. I'll just make a new one in 6 months or so.

Cool links Rach, more ideas

kyro298 i still have a little extra pine

Whoops too slippery, had to change it. Thanks Rach, one of those links had the answer.

Excellent!! I was wondering how you'd deal with that, cuz I figured it may be a problem. Probably easier to clean than a log ...

Since I'm more handy than my husband, (poor guy-but it's his brains that I'm thankful for anyway)I decided to go with the index card box route. LOL Both are sturdy plastic and the lids can open. What can you make a hole with that won't make the opening too rough/sharp for them to climb through?

kyro298, i do have some extra wood. I could make you one out of wood if you would like. It takes like 30 min to make.
i made mine so i could reach in.

ohhhhh i like that one Catman.

That would be awesome :) I'll even pay!

I made a temporary one from a Bud Ice box we had left over from a party. I just covered it with fleece and cut the top to where it lifts up.

It may be ghetto but my babies love it.

Ok kyro298, Its done!I would have done it yesterday but it was snowing/raining, and I couldn't work on the patio.

Yes! That's awesome! Thank you SO much! I'll pm...

Scott - does it have the mesh (?) inside, too?

No, i didn't put mesh on the inside. I almost did,but i was afraid they might chew it and get stuck some how.

Wow these are great nest boxes guys. Heres anotherlink with a pattern. http://www.dpi.vic.gov.au/dpi/nreninf.nsf/93a98744f6ec41bd4a256c8e00013aa9/bb1b847388607cf4ca25700a00244f4f/$FILE/ATTAN0N5/Lw0014.pdf

i have just painted a nesting box and put fleece and the gum leaves from there pouch in it. It's getting cold here now and the fleece puches loose to much heat outside. The boxes stay a more constent temperature.
