Those pine needles make excellent nesting material. I like them better than tobacco stems. More economical too. ;-).

I've read about tobacco stems in a lot of places but seems like a waste when they will just be tossed out. They seem to like the pine needles better than the hay.

could I suggest that you cover half the front of the nesting boxes and cover opposing sides of them also just a suggestion :) I like what you are doing though

I might need a big more instruction. I do have a cover for the lower wide box. I had a pair in there but they never mated. That was Ricky and Lucy. They are both gone now....

Looking good One thing I would like to point out is the feeder I highly recommend you to not to leave it for them there after they finish eating for so many reasons They will become picky They will not eat properly They drop in it and it will get mixed with food then they will eat it and get sick Mouse/mice will consider it as a food bank Unless you’re not around to feed them on time and it’s still not good It’s better to leave it and drink for no more than 30 minutes and that’s how they will start to eat anything you give them because sometimes you do need them to eat sort of things such as corn and other thing you might add to their feeder in the future for example in the winter you will be giving them more seeds that contains more fat such as sunflower seed, corn to help them put more weight to prevent them from feeling cold in the winter It is recommended to remove the feeder and water as soon as they finish eating and drinking and that also a way to get them to eat anything and everything, whoever doesn’t eat much today will be the first to be hanging on the door as soon as they see you coming with food

I've got to get more consistent with that. I typically take it out after they eat. I have left it in there a few times over the last week because my schedule has been crazy. I'll be sure to be more consistent with that. Ricky didn't seem super hungry this morning.
