A nectar bat was found grounded with a broken elbow in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. We provided guidance on care and housing and also located a wildlife veterinarian for the finder so the bat can receive the treatment she needs.
A bat was found at the base of an office door in Morrin, Alberta, Canada. We provided guidance on how to safely contain the bat and located a bat-trained rescuer in the finder’s area. The bat was transferred to a rescuer where he will be assessed for hopeful release back to the wild.
A bat colony roosting in the eves of a home was in jeopardy of being destroyed in Alberta, Canada. We provided educational information on bats as well as humane exclusion guidelines. The homeowners decided to perform a humane exclusion this fall after all the babies can fly.
