Hi Nic – Thanks for all that help and info. You are right-I made a mistake !! The storage box is 7 inches high, 21 inches long and 14 inches wide, so seems possible. I did watch a lot of photos and vids to check what others provided but wanted to make sure from measurements. As I already have this container thought if an acceptable size I’d cut out an entrance. Just concerned how hot it would get in summer but commonsense I suppose, put in shade and cover the lid. I was using shallow food trays so the height may be OK after all.
Annoyingly and unusually I’ve had a visiting cat for the last couple of weeks. It seems obsessed by my wildlife pond as it is heaving with frogs at present, though cats haven’t been a problem here previously.
Thank you for that link to Penny’s feeding station, I am so impressed with that and would enjoy copying her design. Sadly I have no spare timber having used all I had to make two hog houses in December (which may not have been occupied after all).
The other very helpful thing in your reply has encouraged me to use the bird food plastic containers (7″ high, rectangular and oval about 10 ” across) as individual feeding posts in other spots in my little garden, big enough for one hog or hoglet and the more the merrier !.
Many thanks for all the help. Impatiently waiting for Spring.
