Baby bat is eating very well, 3 times until now. His behaviour seems very good, he sleeps a lot during the day, he makes those characteristics noises, just like claps when he is hunger. Just, now he is sleeping in the usual place, my husband shirt pocket, hearing opera! LOL
We decided to keep him with us, because it is impossible to know if his mother will reject him. Tmorrow I will contact our Zoo and the Department of Zoology of Lisbon Faculty of Sciences (I am a biologist and I know lot of people there). Meanwhile, we are feeding him just with milk.
But , from what we have been reading, in the middle of July, they should have about half of the adult size. The bats , all the species in Portugal, eat insects, so we can feed him with those insects that we can buy in animal stores, I hope.
We don´t know if is a boy or a girl. ....
That's very wise--to consult professional zoologists. I didn't think of that.
ResponderEliminarI know that with baby birds the mother might reject the chick if it smells differently so you just might have to adopt this little boy/girl. Best wishes sorting everything out!
Let him play with your dollhouse ! Him because he is so attached to your husband like a son :).
