Bat Rescue and Rehabilitatiors List

PROVIDING TEMPORARY CARE (from Bat World Sanctuary's website): DO NOT handle a bat with bare hands, and do not attempt to rehabilitate the bat on your own. To do so could jeopardize your safely as well as the life of the bat. Please read the following information to provide temporary care for the bat until help is obtained.

Line a box with an old t-shirt so the bat has a surface to hang upside-down. Create some pleats in the shirt so the bat can hide if it wants to. (Make sure any tape that is used is secured well so the bat won't get stuck.) Put a small amount of water in a small, shallow container like a vitamin or baby food jar lid (as seen in this video: https://youtu.be/YtJkaDWuUQc ). DO NOT provide any type of food whatsoever - to do so will cause organ failure to critically dehydrated bats. Make sure a top is secured to the box as some bats can squeeze through a crack as thin as 1/2 inch. If you must handle the bat please remember to wear thick gloves (even though rabies is rare in bats, if the bat bites you it will need to be euthanized and tested). Until help is located, keep the box in a room where the bat won't get too warm or too cold and keep the bat away from children and pets.

Make sure to call, not email whichever local wildlife rescue in your area.

Idag fick vi besök av en liten skadad måsunge på jobbet, jag åkte med den till Viltrehabiliteringen i Åkersberga där de konstaterade att den stukat foten 🤕 #måsunge #viltrehabilitering #montessori #oväntatbesök (på/i Vaxholm, Sweden) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQLomM4HChC/?utm_medium=tumblr
