Bat Boxes

Bats, like other mammals, have hair, nurse their young, and produce body heat internally. Unlike all other mammals, bats fly, using wings formed by a flexible, leathery skin membrane stretched between highly modified elongated fingers and forearms, leg bones and the tall. But unlike most small mammals, bats are long-lived (up to 30 years or more for some species), and most species produce only one young per year.

You can purchase the nesting boxes pre-assembled, or in kits with pre-cut wood and assembly instructions included. 

Almost one-quarter of the world’s 4,400 species of mammals are bats. Twenty-four of the more than 900 species occur in California. In California, bats occur at elevations ranging from below sea level to almost 11,000 feet. Our smallest bat is the western pipstrelle (Pipistrellus hesplerus), with an average wingspread of 7.5 to 8.5 inches, and an average body length of 1.5 to two inches. Contrast that with measurements of our largest species, the western mastiff bat (Eumops perotis) which has a wingspan of more than 21 inches and average body length of four to five inches.
