Why aren there bats in my batbox?
Bats are a little fickle: they are the travellers of the animal world and move in or out as the mood takes them. It’s not unusual for Bats to change home as the seasons and even the days change. They may also move around an area – as they deplete the insects in one spot, they move. Bats may even use a roost for just a few nights. There is no way to predict this, but whether they stay for one night or a year, you will be helping to protect some endangered native species.
