Gone Batty

Earlier this week we were gifted with a baby bat. Came down thru the chimney & out the fireplace. I'm guessing that he's (yes, I checked) just over a week old. His eyes are still shut
& he's nursing every few hours. I've been given some great advice by some online rehabbers that I contacted. Who would have thought there were actually specialist in Bat Rehab.??

Anyway, it would appear that this is going to be an all summer project. There are stages of all formula feeding, 1/2 formula mix with mushed meal worms, all mushed meal worms, getting him to take live meal worms, flying practice (which I'm told he should be able to do at just over 3 weeks), etc.

I know, I know: if it's going to happen, then it's going to happen to "Boop". And you're quite right, except I am now used to it & can thus accept the fact that weird poop (which for interest sake, bat poop is just like a mouse, lol) seems to happen to me (a lot actually).

So, I will keep you updated. Speaking of which "Hope" (the kitten) is really doing well. She has become a real handful (typical little kitten). She is eating, playing, & getting into mischief normally now. Her legs have really sprouted up. I'm hoping that she'll grow into them soon as she presently looks a little giraffe-like.

Have a great day. Peace out, Boop Posted by Picasa

Yep, you're right - only you. However, a baby bat is a cute little thing & interesting to watch eating from the eye dropper.
