My friend just got 9 free Excluder gourd with round entrances . My question is. Is there a way to change these entrances to a SREH type entrance?
Thanks Craig

Sure is! Use a Jig saw, make the SREH entrance fit the gourd so that its level on all sides, then use lexel caulk to make the SREH remain in place, let the lexel dry, attach a porch if desired
An alternate way, purchase a tunnel with SREH, use a Jig saw again, use lexel caulk again, and attach the tunnel so that everything remains level. Most people slip the tunnel into the gourd about 1/2in to 1.5 inches, then caulk it in place.
