CA is a massive state. Lisa was in Contra Costa County which is about 400 miles from San Diego where Cindy lives. I'm in Yolo County, an hour east of...
Figures you live in FL, Batman Rick. That great state allows the importation of every and all exotics from anywhere. FL ain't proud. Just your Flying Foxes'...
Carol, In my experience although it's been several years now, the California State Health Department has been very reasonable. I thought they would be a good...
It's interesting that in California it's the county health departments that are the deciding entities. I guess that's because CA is a much more populous...
In your situation, you have no choice. You have to act in this case--however negative the publicity for bats. Sadly, that's one of our responsibilities...
I'm not positive, but I think my drop of location is OSU in Stillwater. Last I heard if I have to drop one off for testing I have to pay for it. Is it the...
The vet and both counties know the situation. I am currently waiting for the out come of the tests. Corky In a message dated 7/1/2009 9:55:56 A.M. Pacific...
Yes, I already did. I took the bat in yesterday and we are just waiting for test results. Corky In a message dated 7/1/2009 10:16:57 A.M. Pacific Daylight...
You should NOT have to pay for testing! The state does that. It's expensive, and they don't like to do the testing if they can avoid it.  No, WildCare...
I'm pretty sure Gibsonton is the town where the circus rests. That might explain the shouting. Thomas Finn Fly By Night, Inc PO Box 562 Osteen, FL 32764-0562 ...

Carol, I do not have enough words to say how sorry I am that this has happened. You and Rondi have done the right thing with courage and grace, and you are to...
Here in California I'm not aware of any counties that charge for a rabies test. As a matter of fact, they THANK ME for dropping off bats in cases of possible...
I've never been charged, and I've never seen a form with a fee. I did have to sign a form once to say that someone was actually bit. They also react...
 DO NOT LET HIM BEND YOU OUT OF SHAPE!! wasted energy on a carnie. They love any attention at all, good or bad. He is just supporting Rick the bat importer....
Yep. Definite mind-set at work. I like the oranges idea but sand is more permanent and you can use something smaller than a pillowcase. Socks work fine. DO...
I am suddenly loosing my BBB pups. I've had most of them for around two weeks. They've been good eaters, etc. Now, one by one they are stopping digesting....
Okay, Just one more thing and then I'll let go of the "intrusion". Per Mr. Bat's email, he hand feeds the bats for his audience. In a later paragraph he...
I spoke with our nutritional scientist last night and discussed the problems some of you folks are having. According to the symptoms, some species may have...
sounds just like the big browns i had kept feeding them no weight gain or barely looked like they just waisted away then the bloat and gone. I'll put the...
Corky-- I'm so sorry about your losses---it's always so hard to lose pups, especially those that seem to be on the right track. I had a summer like that last...
This is an interesting article but I’m irked by the very last paragraph, where an MD, and the editor of the scientific journal, refers to bats as “rodents...
Thank you. I think its real impt we keep putting our experiences out on WBL. We are the researchers, of sorts. The more we share our successes and our...
When I received this year's eastern red bats the recommended formula was 1 part Exact to 5 parts goats milk. That's what I've been using and have had ...
Fyi - Here is the press release with the offending quote: http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2009-06/foas-sfa063009.php Cindy Myers Fallbrook CA ...
Beverly emailed with a bat encounter of the MOST positive kind, and I just HAD to share it with you. Perhaps this would have been better sent to World Bat...
This is a great tale to share on WBL because it gives me an opportunity to plug the FrogLog again. As we know, in the wild bats drink on the fly and need to be...
I'm starting the permit process and need to get all my ducks in a row before I can go much further. My budget is limited and I currently have an HOA (would...
Its not uncommon for me to find a couple of pups attached to each other with one sucking on the other. I have one who I often find rolled in a ball, sucking...
