Squirrel House - Hideout & Feeder

The WildYard Squirrel House is specifically designed for tree squirrels, flying squirrels, and chipmunks. The dual-chamber layout mimics the natural tree cavities these animals seek out in the wild, providing both a sheltered nesting space and a separate feeding area. As natural habitats continue to shrink with urbanization, this gives backyard wildlife a safe, protected place to rest, snack, and raise young throughout the year.

Cedar is naturally weather-resistant, rot-resistant, and built to handle rain, snow, and year-round temperature swings without warping or breaking down. Unlike flimsy squirrel houses made from soft pine or plywood that can absorb moisture and fall apart after a season or two, premium cedar holds up to real outdoor wildlife activity and stands the test of time, giving your backyard visitors a durable home they can return to season after season.

Most basic squirrel boxes offer a single open cavity, which leaves squirrels feeling exposed. Our dual-chamber design separates the nesting area from the feeding area, closely mimicking the layered, sheltered spaces squirrels naturally seek inside tree cavities. The enclosed nesting chamber helps reduce stress from predators, wind, and harsh weather, while the dedicated feeder compartment keeps food close at hand without disturbing resting animals.

Yes. There’s no complicated setup. The squirrel house arrives fully assembled and ready to mount straight out of the box. Simply choose your spot, attach it to a wall, tree, or post, and your backyard habitat is ready to welcome wildlife within minutes.

The squirrel house is designed to mount easily to walls, trees, or sturdy posts. For best results, place it in a quiet, shaded area roughly 10–20 feet above the ground, ideally near trees or natural cover so squirrels feel safe approaching it. The sloped roof helps shed rainwater and the raised design keeps the nesting chamber dry, so the interior stays comfortable in all kinds of weather.

The squirrel house includes both interior and exterior climbing ladders so squirrels can easily enter, explore, and move between the nesting and feeding chambers. The built-in feeder compartment lets you keep nuts, seeds, or corn close to the nesting area, creating a convenient, all-in-one habitat. This combination of shelter and food encourages curious visitors to settle in naturally and keep coming back.

The squirrel house measures approximately 16.54" long x 7.87" wide x 12.6" tall (42 x 20 x 32 cm) and weighs about 6.61 lbs (3 kg). The generous interior gives squirrels, flying squirrels, and chipmunks plenty of room to nest comfortably, while the overall footprint remains compact enough to mount on most trees, posts, or exterior walls.

Squirrels are more than fun to watch — they play an important role in healthy ecosystems. By burying nuts and spreading seeds, they help forests regenerate naturally and contribute to healthier soil and plant growth. As urbanization continues to reduce natural nesting spaces, providing a safe squirrel shelter is a simple, meaningful way to support local wildlife and help create a more balanced backyard ecosystem right outside your door.
