No idea..... sorry but would be interesting in seeing some photos.

We recently went to Chester Zoo and walked through the dark bat enclosure with them all flying around you - amazing experience.

Near or on a tree?
Especially a pine type.
Or anywhere secure for them.

was worried about putting them in our very large pine tree as I have seen our cats climbing in it after birds

think we will have to try the house and see what happens
