We found him flapping about frantically in the closed hallway. I opened the hallway windows but he?she?it?both? did not seem interested to fly out. After several minutes he smacked into the door windows and we picked him up and took him inside.
He's been living with me for a week now. I have no idea how to take care of bats so he lives ?comfortably? in a shoe box nested with towels. He rarely drinks water or eats. He does crap about though. I think he oly ate a bit of apple just once (in a whole week!).
On the 2nd evening I took him to the windows sill, needless to say he started shivering and wasnt interested in flyin away in -10.
The weather forecast is between -10 and -20 for the next week and a half. So he probably stays inside until then. Anything I can do to take better care of him or is this just the way small bats hibernate during winter? (he's really small... smaller than my thumb). Click image for full size photo.
