I had a flying squirrel use one last winter, but s/he didn't hang

I just checked my bluebird house again (which I do about once a
month), and that little flying squirrel squirmed around in the nest,
then poked his head out the top of it to look at me. He/she doesn't
seem very scared of me anymore. Soooo cute. Big black eyes and
little pink nose. Okay.... 3 years in there.... I wonder if the
squirrels poop in their nest. I don't know if babies have been in
there. I sure wish I could clean it out, but I don't want to evict
the resident.

My Daughter worked for the Museum of natural Science as an intern and
one of her jobs was to care for the flying squirrel. She warn that they
love to burrow and will jump down you blouse in a heart beat.
