I originally posted this in General Discussion, but thought I'd try here for more feedback. I recently had an 8x12 shed with two lofts installed, in part so the group of squirrels I feed would have some emergency shelter. I think they're living in a nearby roof, after they were evicted from another roof a couple of months ago. I put up a nest, but no takers to date. Anyhow, I'd like to have an entrance hole cut into a wall of the shed, and I know it should be about 3 inches in diameter or less, but I don't know if it should be relatively high or low in the wall. I know too low could let other small critters in, but the only other critters I know are around are skunks and cats. I think the squirrels can get on the roof of the shed from a tree that's close, though I haven't seem them do that yet, so maybe high in the wall? The outside of the shed is vinyl siding, so not sure they can climb that. Any guidance? Thank you!
