Hi Jen--the reports I got form VT and NY were that it looks like the bats are trying to get to their summer roosts if they survive to leave the cave. So it may...
last nite I got two bats from a guy's deck in Sussex County - too far from the Hibernina mines but there's the franklin mines - one eastern pip and one ...

I really like that enclosure, I use it for my non-releasable. The only negative aspect is that you have to attach one side to the wall otherwise it's a bit...
I'm thinking of building a flight cage out of netting, but if there's something bigger out there, maybe it'd be worth purchasing! Kathy ... [Non-text portions...
You can buy the plastic mesh in rolls from inter-net and staple it onto the inside, then do hardware cloth or fox wire on the outside. Leslie ... From: Kathy...

I think I might purchase some samples of it to make sure it doesn't damage skin when they are practicing. Kathy ... [Non-text portions of this message have...
I would be careful of the type of netting an enclosure has, some of my bats do not like the little insect containers because they can't get their toes or...

This concerns me and I question the wisdom of such an approach. Does anyone in the East know anything about how they developed this hypothesis? Rita Dixon ...

Also please note the following passage from the article: "Hibernating bats will seek warmer parts of caves during bouts of activity. The pair will test whether...
