I had a pet bat before. i always put him first, i fed him 3 times a day (handfed). he'd always fly to my ceilling but then hed always for some reason come back down to my shirt. then id carefully take him off and put him in my cage. and one day, i went to my friends house for 2 days. and when i came back he was dead :( if i hadnt gone to my friends house i would still have a bat. he was a philippine fruit bat btw.
I had a small bat like that but lost it because we put it in a tent left it for a little and when w came back it was gone and we found a small hole we think he got out
This is DANGEROUS. Bats are interesting and beautiful animals - but DO NOT handle them!!! A bat on the ground is a sick bat! It may be carrying rabies, a lethal disease.
If a bat needs to be handled, contact a wildlife professional (rehabilitator, etc).
@G0tM1Ik Cool, how do you catch them with a bed-sheet? You know you can catch them with pantyhose? Take a little bit of the fabric and fill it with sand, make a little ball the size of a grape. When you toss things in to the air bats will swoop down and snag them like ninjas. Nylon stockings filled sand will snag their little claws. Would be a neat pet.
But I would be careful before going near bats again...they recently discovered that fruit bats are hosts of the Ebola virus, and if you've ever read The Hot Zone...
@sixxuglykingdom Well he isnt a fruit bat.. But plenty of things we interact with everyday are at a high risk of carrying a disease but as long as you're careful and dont touch your mouth and things like that and wash your hands you will be okay.. :)
@Sunderland4745 He used gloves for a reason. I work with them frequently, and they're a charm.
You take precautions when you fly to a foreign country with certain common ailments. Same with bats. Get your shots and join a rehabilitation center. :)
If I did I'm pretty sure they don't last forever. A kid died not to long ago from rabies, he got bit by a bat and died a month later. It's rare but still... Cancer is better than getting rabies.
looks like the little fella ive had in my room for the last 3 days. he couldnt find his way out but i could see he wasnt well. thing was trembling and disoriented
i found a bat idk what to do is the size of 2 quarters and it wont fly away i have it in a medium size bird cage with water and a towel im going to get some insects for it its an "Evening Bat" what do i do i don't want it do die!
Awww so cute, I'm wondering was it a small brown bat? I have seen one at my hold jr high school, I had to make kids stay away from it because they whre poking the poor thing with a stick and it was bearing it's teeth at them. It was taken by the animal control to be released in the wild, it was my frist bat I have ever seen in my life lol.
@captainstinky666 im pretty sure bats arent thanking them. you should never pick a bat up. 1. you can easily get a disease from just touching it and breating around it. 2. you woke it up so you can poke and prod it and now its completely disoriented and terrified. and 3. the bat probably had a heart attack because of this. no duh its heart is beating so fast.
Yeah it is nice to see that not all kids are deviants who would harm a creature they found like that. Unfortunately culture in America dictates that many simple-minded people see pretend violence on TV (or real violence in their own family's homes) and have to go carry it out in their own life. Stupidity did not win here, as it so often does. It was good to see the bat fly away.
amazing animal you can see baby one I found in India ..you are smart to wear gloves and glad it was large enough to fly ..sadly the one I found was so tiny ... thanks for posting
You are very lucky to not have contracted Rabies. This bat is obviously confused, and unable to fly away. This is a major sign to look out for in rabid bats. You should NEVER pick up a bat off the ground. They are most likely sick. I work with the Organization for Bat Conservation.
@SerafinaKonig Well, I haved two bat baby's (I found they in the flood, obviously fell down from its nest) And they bite me all the time when I fed with a dropper, and I do not rabies infected xD
@SerafinaKonig well, they are wearing gloves which is a good start. I have to agree though, that bat doesn't look very well at all... but at least he flew away so that's a good sign.
A vampire that didn't make it home before daybreak. Watch for smoking flesh.
I just realized that the myth of vampires dieing in sunlight could be related to bats dieing of rabies. And being out in sunlight. If what your saying is true.
Well, the associated between vampires is actually fairly recent, more a hollywood embellishment. In the original Romanian legends, vampires transformed into moths, wolves, rats and snakes.
Actually they came from mice. There were mice back in prehistoric times that had laboritories and worked on melding wings to themselves. There are cave writing with detailed descriptions and ingredients to follow and to perform this task. But alchemists destroyed them with some sort of chemical. Anyway you were close.
i kept one over a winter once because we caught him inside our house in minus 40, he made it to spring and was just fine on a diet of mashed crickets.
