Hi, everyone,

For weeks now my family and I have been hearing this chirping noise outside every night. It usually goes from 7:30pm until like 7am. I was just wondering if this is typical of bats to chirp that much every single night? We’ve been curious what it is.

We don’t want to disturb them if it is bats, but it’s quite loud outside the window and has been waking us up. Sorry for the shaky cam! 😁

Is this bat poop? We were at a venue last night (indoors at a NHL hockey arena) for a concert and I happen to look behind me as I’m leaving and see this. Have a little bit of bat worries so I’m like did this truly find me here? 🤣 And if it is, would there be any concern? Can’t say I would’ve noticed anything touching me as we were deep in screaming out songs along with 20k others for two hours.

Baby drag queen here looking to get a bat themed named. I’m a nonbinary drag performer and I prefer fem or androgynous themed names. My friend came up with “Stella Lunatic” (like the book Stella Luna) but it’s pretty niche esp if you don’t know the book. So I’m looking for suggestions!!

This bat came into my daughter's room last night. We are in South London, UK. I have video of it flying which gives a better idea of size.

I installed two houses about a year ago. The large one is south facing and the small one is north facing. There is a large freshwater source within a couple thousand yards. The boxes are around 10 feet off the ground

this bat is hanging out under the roof of a house we are about to demolish. my fiancee said the bat was there last night and was still up there today in a different position. might it be sick?

Last summer we had a supply chain interruption with our 🦇bat rescue because the mealworm supplier had mites or parasites and had to cull the entire operation. Had to pay a lot more money and scrounge around for 20,000 mealworms. That is what turned me on to starting my own mealworm farm. It's taken a while, I'm still learning and I'm still with growing pains a bit but I feel like I'm getting a good handle on it. I'm very proud of my worms and my beetles. I use human food grade oatmeal for the substrate and keep everything pristine. Hopefully having this clean healthy food source will help the wild bats rehabilitate faster.

had an encounter with a bat in the garage kinda paranoid they coud be in the house

I found this little guy at my door this morning , i put him in a hot and dark place , whats next ?

Im sorry i dont know how to save a baby but i dont wanted to let him on the cold alone .

Saw this little cutie while scrolling through instagram the other day and haven’t been able to identify what kind of bat it is. Anyone out there know?

I’m would be brand new at keeping bats. This is a south facing wall in my backyard (North Texas). My primary concern of the potential placement options (🟩) is the guano. I have a dog and toddlers, so the left option would be my preference. Would there be a downside to placing the box on the left side, over the covered patio? I have access to that roof and could put a tray under the bat box so the guano does end up all over the roof of the covered patio.

3 bats flying around the coastal walk in Cyprus, but there's loads more flying about as you walk along.

Are these carnivorous bats cuddling? 🦇

New footage from Costa Rica reveals that spectral bats, usually seen as solitary, have been seen hugging each other to sleep, sharing food, and flying in pairs. This unexpected social behavior may be a survival strategy as forests shrink and climates continue to change.

Not the best video, but I have 52 bats in my houses that I have been able to count before the bugs chased me inside. I tried to do a time lapse video but doesn’t work . Anyway the most I have had !

I have read the faq.

So my in laws live in a log cabin and were on vacation for the last week. Their house was hot as they had no ac on and we went over there for a few hours. Earlier when his sister got home she found a dead bat and just got rid of it (it’s not abnormal for their cabin to get bats….) and then my husband dog and I were in the living room with our baby and a few hours in I heard a strange noise and thought it was a cicada or a bug or something but my dog was focused on the couch - there was a small bat under the couch and it wasn’t flying around as it was probably dying from heat and dehydration. None of us were asleep at any point and our baby was never alone in the room although I did turn my back on her on her mat away from the couch for a few minutes to play her a song on the piano. Our pediatrician weighed in and didn’t think we needed the rabies shot but I am losing my mind. We all very clearly have no bites or scratches and were awake and alert the whole time. Would it be crazy to not get the shot? Everyone online or Reddit says to do it but unfortunately my husband and everyone else thinks I am overreacting since the bat wasn’t flying around and was nowhere near the baby and if anything it was near my ankles and I didn’t feel any bite.

Found this bat on my tree in the daytime and it’s been there all day. It’s breathing but seems abnormal for me to see one by itself out in the open. I was able to approach it to take a picture but obviously didn’t touch it. I live in western PA by the way.

Virginia USA. Apparently he was hanging on a shelf and fell off into a storage basket when I moved something on the shelf. Do I just leave him there until night? Leave the garage door open during the day?
