[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 230525, member: 1233"] There are often Bat Ladies in many areas. Vets can help you find them. while I was pg with Jessamess, I came across a bunch of teens poking at a bat. It was daylight, so I was pretty sure something was wrong. And I was already on leave for maternity so I didn't want to touch it. But I sure as sugar wasn't going to allow these hoodlums to torment it. I chased them off (a loud pregnant woman telling you that you WILL go and you WILL not torment this creature, period, seemed to work, LOL). Then I got a vet on the phone who said that bats can't bite through somehting thick, so if I covered it with a washcloth and picked it up I would be safe. I got 3 washcloths, the brown paper bag the vet recommended, and a maintenance man who had the sad luck to be walking past. It didn't move much at all, and I worried ALL day until husband got home with the car. Then I took it to a vet who knew a Bat Lady. The vet said it was just a very young teenage bat, showed NO signs of illness, andthey would watch it and then move it to a large wooded park after they were sure it was healthy. It is fairly common for "teenage" bats to be out past bedtime, get confused and be unable to find their way home. REally made difficult child interested in bats though. We visited her several times before she was released. [/QUOTE]
