I Found A Baby Bat

Tuesday June 15, 2004
DUALFRAGMENT asks: "It is very small and it just makes high pitched noises. Less than 2 inches long. I tried giving it a dead fly but it won't eat. What do I need to feed it? I don't want it to die." From your Guide: Warning - bats can carry Rabies, a fatal disease of animals that is transmissible to humans. If you ever find a bat (dead or alive) do not touch it, and call animal control authorities as soon as possible.
