The Schwegler 1FS Large Colony Box provides bats with a very large internal space. This allows high numbers of bats to congregate together and makes it very popular for accomodating large colonies in summer. It is particularly attractive to Noctule (Nyctalus noctula), Nathusius` Pipistrelle (Pipistrellus nathusii) and Common Long-eared Bat (Plecotus auritus) and nurseries containing 70-100 bats have been observed.

The large internal space and variety of hanging places makes it ideal for bats to use as a nursing area and is suitable for both summer and winter quarters. For a specific over-wintering box we recommend the 1FW Hibernation Box.

The front panel consists of three grooved wooden panels, and a special roof panel with an insulated grill is ideal for bats to cling to.
