Bat things.

I just picked up a bat I have the euthanase. Bugger.

On the good side, I was also handed a bat I don't have to euthanase. She is a little thin but is eating mealworms. A week or R&R for her and she'll be right.

I've created a new mealworm farm using a base made of high protein insectivore mix, bran, stale bread and old powdered milk. The old mealworm farm uses bran only as a base. I hope to raise some ExtremeMealworms full of batty goodness.

Err well envy being able to help bats, not the having the euthanize part, that's the part I probably couldn't get past even though I know it has to be done in some cases.

Here's hoping Love bat does well! :) (You wanted an L name?)

Aren't you glad you're not in South America?
How would you rehab vampires?

I'd LOVE to handle vampires! The group in the US uses a small mob of chickens as a food source. Those people are crazy enough to let the bats feed on themselves if they have to. 8)

Whoa!

Considering the shots *you* get, those people must either be seriously hopped up on vaccines and antibiotics, or seriously nuts!

Don't get me wrong, I like bats and all but... yeeee....

Extreme mealworms?

Do they ride little skateboards and surf dangerous tides?

Have tiny little mohawks?
