You have to be out of your mind to want red squirrels to breed.  Red squirrels are the most destructive nieghborhood animal there is.  I had one get into my attic once, it chewed wiring, ripped up insulation, chewed holes in the siding.  But if that makes you happy, have at it.

I would think something similar to a birdhouse (only bigger) would work, try google-ing it and find something there, might even find some instructions.
