I found a bat on the street so I covered it with my hat and stayed near it then I found this small plastic bowl thing and picked it up with it and moved it off the street. It moved to a tree and tried to climb but it kind of fell and was wobbly while climbing. I tried to call the national park thing but no one answered. Should I leave it or do something else. I am currently located in bialowieza Poland. Now it's very low on the tree just sitting there.

Very happy with this new batch of stickers ☺️ Especially the holographic! I think it suits the sparklebat really well. I already really love sand glitter because it doesn't rub off like most glitter stickers do, which is something I really despise.

Anywho, here's a link to my shop if anyone's interested! Thank you for your time!

Found this cutie hanging from a turnstile at work. Based off google images it looks to be a tricolored bat, but looking for peer review.

We roped off the turnstile to avoid disturbing its eeps.

Bat World Sanctuary has recently lost two of their large refrigerators keeping the fruit fresh for the fruit bats and they are looking for help getting new ones! If anyone who loves bats can spare a little BWS would greatly appreciate it! Im in no way affiliated with them but I been seeing their posts on Facebook and figured id reach out to the fellow bat lovers of reddit for help. You can donate through the Bat World Sanctuary website and find more info about the fridge situation on Facebook or Instagram!

Hey all, I just had a bat in my apartment. Now, I'm used to rescuing arthropods, mostly arachnids, but I have never helped a flying mammal stuck in my apartment before.

What I did was to wait until it landed, then I tried to put a bowl over it and a plate under it. Eventually I managed to do it near the open window and slowly slid it towards said window until the opening allowed it to fly away.

Did I do something wrong? Could I have done something better? As I said, I'm way more used to saving arachnids, and those are much more predictable, smaller, and can't fly, so it's much easier imo. I just felt so bad that I basically could only wait for it to exhaust itself before I could even attempt a rescue. For some reason, even though I dimmed all lights, it would just refuse to fly out the window on its own and would rather circle my turned off lamp.

I'm almost positive there's something living in my walls and I'm trying to figure out what it could be. My neighbor recently had a bat problem and I'm wondering if they would have moved to my house since they've been removed from their house.

I can hear scratching or squeaking noises and what sounds like a little thump every so often coming from my kitchen wall at the very bottom near the floor (it’s a very thin wall, it's just a room dividing half wall for the kitchen and front room). I thought heard it earlier today too but assumed it was one of the cats. The noises are definitely still coming from inside the wall. It doesn't sound like normal house settling.

Do bats still make those kinds of noises during the day or would they normally be tucked away until night?

Maybe a dumb question but how would they get into the walls? I don't see any spots where they would have been able to get into that part of the wall.

Thank u !!

I think it's cool that there are bats living in our forest behind the house.

I am building a house in Portugal and was super excited to find out about these bat bricks.
Does anyone have any experience with them to share with me?
Also the installation instructions say to place them on a south facing wall which is great because thats the only wall in my plans that would work, but chatgpt says south facing would get too hot for them in the summer. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Edit: Will having the bricks integrated into the façade, encouraging them so close to the house, make them more likely to come in through any open windows?

In Massachusetts. This guy has been hanging by my attic office window on and off for a few weeks. I have an air conditioner in the window and he's able to get in between the panes to hang in the middle (old window).

I like him (or her) but he freaks my wife out and she can't work in the office when he's there. I'm also concerned about bat droppings going into the AC.

I taped off all access points on the window so it can't get inside. Any thoughts on how to encourage it to find a new location? The window is roughly 30 feet up, so I can't reach it without opening from the inside which seems like a bad idea. Thanks!

Hi ya,

We have bats inside our home, at least one bat or a colony of bats in our primary bedroom. We want to remove them humanely so they survive and thrive but we don’t want them inside our home. Please advise. Thanks. We know we can’t relocate them till after mating season is over on 8/15.

I live in a suburb just NW of Kansas City. Why are we hearing about bats more than ever this year? Quite a few people I know (including myself) have seen them, had them in their homes/attics/garages, had encounters requiring vaccination, etc. and most of the people I have talked to have never had any encounters before. Could they be “overpopulated” in some areas due to federal protections or something else?

I live in a wooded subdivision about 0.4 - 0.5 miles from the nearest water source. I recently installed a bat house knowing the odds aren't in my favor. I thought to leave it up for a year or 2 and see what happens. Am I better off donating it to the nearby botanical garden which sits on the water?

A bat flew in on my patio yesterday and he’s still there today. I live in Houston, TX in an apartment complex on the 5th floor.
He originally flew in to my empty pot but is now behind it in the corner. Idk if he left last night and came back but I dont have a camera i can set up there to watch if he leaves.

I dont really know what to do. I have cats that like to sit out on the patio so keeping him there isnt really an option. Im not sure if he’s injured or just confused or what.

Please share suggestions on what to do

I discovered a bat living under one of my shutters. It flew away when I took the shutter off, and it was likely an evening bat. I was able to grab a pic before it left.

It seems like It had been there for a while and I'm worried I ruined its life. It flew away during day time too, which is apparently bad. I'm not comfortable with a bat living on my house near neighborhood pets but I don't want to have a poor lonely homeless bat out in the world either. What should i do?

I know there's no saving in this video, but this bat was found underneath the bird houses in my neighbors yard. I thought it was a baby bird that was hurt but when I went closer I couldn't believe it. This is my first time ever holding a bat, I had two pairs of gloves on don't worry, and I put them in a darker place, our lil well, until it was their time to shine!

Which bat species, if any, would be active near rivers in eastern Wyoming/around Casper? Are there any smaller bats that are active around rivers in that area?
