Wildlife, eh?

So yesterday, i was in my garage to grab a bucket that i needed. I looked inside and found what appeared to be a dead bat😕.
My gf said she had heard some screeching a few days earlier. She thought it might be a squirrel yelling at her.
Anyway, the poor thing moved. So, i ran inside, warmed a towel in the microwave, got a little cafood, put it inside the warmed towel, with the food and left it be.
I checked a bit later and it had stretched itself out and lifted its head.
It being so cold, and it's hibernation being disrupted, i didn't have high hopes.
Three hours later i checked again.
It was gone! So was the food.
I am hoping it found its way to a proper spot to hunker down till spring. Then the mosquito hunting can begin🙂

Good for you! Maybe he'll turn your house in to an insect free area as a thank you. They're really smart animals.
Carla · 61-69, F
@Ynotisay they are quite intelligent. Around my home is already relatively quiet, regarding mosquitoes. Ive had a pretty large bat poplulation since ive lived here.
Ynotisay · M
@Carla Yeah. Really smart. I have a lot in the summer too. They're great neighbors.

@Ynotisay they are🙂

Awesome for the bat and bless you for your recue.

@WillaKissing what a beautiful spot!
And quite the undertaking...
It's incredible the pest control skills of those critters🙂

If that place in the picture had a big pumpkin patch and a big corn maze in back of the photographer I would swear it looks just like a place I use to take my daughter every year. But that’s in a different state ( Maine)

It’s a beautiful place.@WillaKissing

@Repete Thank you, nope it is all forested.

How fortuitous for the little guy, that it is your garage he or she ended up in. I'm pretty sure a lot of people wouldn't have been as kind and caring.

I hope along with you, that the bat will be okay.

@Carla Sadly true, like so many other animals people are either afraid of...or just dislike or hate because they don't find them "cute".
Carla · 61-69, F
@Piper bats are adorable.
Look at that face...
Piper · 61-69, F
I think they're adorable too, @Carla, even the ones that aren't quite as cute as that. 😊

You should check with your local wild Fe authorities. Bats can harbor rabies virus and they may suggest you receive the preventive of immunization.
Carla · 61-69, F
@samueltyler2 they do. I never handled the little guy.

@Carla we always argued about what to do if you find a bat in your house. The bite or scratch can be totally fine detected. So, it is then a matter of risk acceptance

You offered what he needed. Hopefully bats have recall like crows and he brings his group to hunt near you.
Carla · 61-69, F
I believe this is home for him/her. @Graylight. See my conversation WillaKissing.
Ive seen bat rescues. Bats can become quite connected, if allowed.
I appreciate their choice of home. They are appreciated...
