i thought of you when i got these pictures from the kids' godmother's daughter. she found this baby bat. she kept it fed until she could find a rehab'er and it went well! so far, so good...
EWWWWWWWWWWWWWW - there shoulda been a warning before opening this thread! I was eating when I saw the pictures and almost lost it - sorry, but I just do not DO bats!!!!!!!
I arent a bad lover, even baby birds look eeky to me .......I could not adopt tha t.........
My doggie and lil cows are enough to tolerate...... One time we had a stupid tame rabbit ......It got out an had babies in the yard and we think ate them all.......What a mess.......Last rabbit I took home. Yukkkkkkkkk
oh my gosh jiffy! i do have to say at this one, eeeeeeeeeewwwwwwww! they are not as cute young as they are old, but i would have loved to have been the one to nurse it! glad it did well!
which one of you had a bat in the house last year? i just remembered about that? it had gotten in and was up in the corner of the room????
thanks for the pic jiffy! :ding:
i forgot to ask, WHERE IN THE WORLD DID THEY FIND IT?

her mother lives in a VERY old house that used to be a church run orphanage. the bat seems to have fallen out of the nest (is that what they are called?) when they were doing some work in the attic. they monitored it for a while to see if "momma" would claim it, and she didn't, so lise took it in. they live on the del-mar-va peninsula and mosquitoes are a problem, so they don't run the bats out of the attic completely, they just try to limit the number. (the attic isn't properly sealed yet) and when they finish the attic work, it will include exterior bat boxes so the bats can still "hang around"
