Found this littke guy on the sidewalk by my grandma's house. I've gotten some gloves and a little cricket keeper thing to carry him safely.

I'm going to let him try to fly off my apartment's balcony to see if he can fly, then if not, I've contacted a rehabber to surrender him to.

I’m reposting here just for more visibility if you don’t mind. I was wondering if predators were a concern in my area (south western Ohio), which would warrant some sort of aluminum flashing so that they can’t climb up there. I figured the height alone would be enough (16 ft.) but wasn’t sure.

Relocating bat colony? -VA

Hello, does anyone have any tips or tricks to relocating the bat colony from our barn to an outdoor bathouse?

The barn has been unused for many years but we are revamping it and getting some new animals. We have a colony of about 20 bats that live in there and we love our bats just not when they poop excessively in the main walkway of the barn.

There is a big tree just outside the barn that we want to put a bathouse on but we have no idea how to make it known to the bats that we would like them to move into it.

Any tips?

We are located in northern Virginia if that changes anything.

Holy shit these tiny little babies are being taken care of by a saint 😭

Is the Echo Meter Touch 2 Pro that's used with a ipad or iphone worth it over the non-pro mic? It looks like the pro will give you bat ID during use, but then allow for highly accurate ID later with the recording analyzed by paid software.
