You're smoky from our fires? There are more than 1000 currently burning. I worry that the mom's may not have enough to eat. We expect MFT pups any day now....
According to Kent Borcherding, who is probably the expert on bat houses in the United States, fallen pups are attributed to overcrowding. Most likely there is...

The smoke sat here for two weeks. Last Saturday it began to clear some. Guess it went from the Sacramento Valley to the Willamette Valley. Good thought...
Hi, I just received a 12-14 day old Big Brown Bat with what appears to be a fracture at the right elbow (not compound). We are going to the Vet Thursday...

They heal exceedingly well. Since she's so young, I would wrap tape around the FX to stabilize the elbow. We did that to a pup with a femur FX. We slit the...
Don't know about baby bones, but when I've had adult elbow fractures usually end up staying with me since they don't fly well. Also watch the tape area. I...
I should have clarified--the BB pups seem to leave tape alone; adults defintely don't and I don't know about pups of other species. Leslie Sturges Bat World...
My second rehab bat was a hoary with a broken humerus. Before I talked to Amanda, my vet had taped it. The hoary started chewing at the tape and I had to...
If anyone's interested, I have pictures of the pup with the tape stabilizer and an adult red we stabilized with a ziptie around an elbow fracture. I think part...

I've been using Giant mealwoms. They were a bit scary at first, but most of my bats have adjusted. Keep those beetles. Who knows, you may have mealworms...
I would love to see pictures. Both my vets are open to trying new methods to try to help the bats (and other wildlife). They are great women! Corky In a...

Last night I saw a report that said that 62 people are killed each year by lightning. I don't know if this is so but it makes a great comparison for...

I'm getting medium crickets--they're too young to have wings--and chilling them. Then I put them in a deep coop cup. Some of the bats are eating them as I'm...
And 30 people a year are killed by dogs! I'm sure an equal number are killed by cats running in between feet as one ascends or descends the stairs, but I don't...
I think it was BCI that had fun stats to compare to rabies, but I can't find it. The one that struck me was how many people are killed each year by a vending...
I hope they're clearer in the article than they are in the abstract - "Of 36 case patients with bat rabies described since 1990, 16 had no history of direct...
The numbers I'd be interested in rather than lightening etc. would be the number comparison of different animal/insect transmitted diseases. how many die from...
I would say:" how insignificant bat - transmitted rabies is ...." because rabies causes approx. 50.000 deaths a year. Mainly canine - transmitted rabies in...
