Bats

We have been kept very busy with lots of baby and injured bats coming into the sanctuary. Our Facebook page is regularly updated with lots of bat pictures and videos, so head over there for lots of updates.
Baby bat season is upon us! If you see a baby bat, or bat in general, out in the daytime you can do the following whilst seeking help:
1. Pick it up gently using gloves or a cloth.
2. Contain the bat in a small box with a milk bottle top filled with water, ensure there are small airholes in the box.
3. DO NOT examine the bat unless you are a handler. We unfortunately get lots of bats come in to us that have broken wings or dislocations due to improper handling.
4. Do not attempt to feed the bat, especially cows milk, water can be offered on a paintbrush.
5. Call for help as soon as possible: Bat Conservation Trust: 03451300228, Last Chance Hotel: 07809768471 or 07547617540.
If in any doubt please take bats to vets who can offer treatment and contact rescues.

This little chap is enjoying a homemade hammock, easily made and very good at providing much needed enrichment.

Poor Arnold was attacked by a cat, he is on antibiotics and pain relief. His chances of survival are slim, but we are hoping he is a fighter.

One of our beautiful bats gave birth overnight to twins! This is extremely rare, and we are truly privileged to be looking after this lovely mother and babies until their release.

Little Ignor is healing up and nearly ready for release.

Clementine is much better and will soon be ready for release, hopefully she will refrain from face planting the floor again!
