While too small for adult possums, this 26cm box is the ideal size for \u003cb\u003eSugar Gliders, Feathertail Gliders, and small Antechinus\u003c\/b\u003e. Constructed from thick-cut firwood, it provides the essential thermal mass required to keep these tiny mammals warm during cold Australian nights, mimicking the tight, insulated hollows they seek in old-growth eucalypts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe design features three 7cm diameter entry holes, which are the perfect size for gliders while acting as a natural deterrent to larger predators and competitive species. These multiple access points are a critical safety feature, allowing inhabitants to exit rapidly from different directions if threatened. This robust nesting box is a definitive choice for conservation-minded gardeners looking to support local glider colonies and micro-fauna in areas where natural small-hollow timber is scarce.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBest For:\u003c\/b\u003e Supporting local Sugar Glider and Feathertail Glider populations, providing a refuge for small native antechinus, and offering nesting sites for small birds like Pardalotes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMicro-Fauna Sized:\u003c\/b\u003e Dimensions and entry holes are specifically suited to gliders and small marsupials, preventing larger animals from taking over the nesting site.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNatural Thermal Insulation:\u003c\/b\u003e Thick-walled solid firwood panels help tiny mammals maintain their body temperature, which is vital for survival during winter.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTriple Safety Entries:\u003c\/b\u003e Three 7cm openings facilitate easy movement and provide essential escape routes from predators like owls or larger birds of prey.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWeather-Shielded Design:\u003c\/b\u003e The sloped, overhanging roof deflects rain to ensure the nesting chamber remains dry, preventing fungal growth and keeping inhabitants healthy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSustainable \u0026amp; Safe:\u003c\/b\u003e Made from untreated natural timber, ensuring no toxic fumes or chemicals interfere with the sensitive respiratory systems of native wildlife.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; text-align: left;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc;\"\u003e\n    \u003cth style=\"padding: 8px;\"\u003eFeature\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003cth style=\"padding: 8px;\"\u003eDetails\u003c\/th\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaterial\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px;\"\u003eSolid Firwood (Untreated)\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eOverall Dimensions\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px;\"\u003e26 x 25 x 29 cm (L x W x H)\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eEntry Hole Diameter\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px;\"\u003e7 cm (Ideal for Gliders\/Small Birds)\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccess Points\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px;\"\u003e3 Integrated Entry\/Exit Holes\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTarget Species\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px;\"\u003eSugar Gliders, Feathertail Gliders, Antechinus, Pardalotes\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIdeal For:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eGlider Conservation:\u003c\/b\u003e Providing a safe colony box for gliders in urban corridors and suburban backyards.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMicro-Marsupial Support:\u003c\/b\u003e Offering a secure nesting spot for Antechinus during the winter breeding season.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSmall Bird Nesting:\u003c\/b\u003e A sturdy alternative for Pardalotes and other small native birds that nest in tree cavities.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWildlife Corridors:\u003c\/b\u003e Enhancing biodiversity by providing \"stepping stone\" habitats in fragmented landscapes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMounting Tip:\u003c\/b\u003e For Sugar Gliders, mount the box 4 to 6 metres high on a straight-trunked tree (like a Gum or Wattle).
