Georgia – bat displaced from structure

February 11, 2023

 A homeowner in Atlanta, GA messaged us that he “was knocking down a structure at my home when I noticed a brown bat fell out that seemed to be hibernating. I had to remove him as the structure was coming down. I put him in a box with some water and some dried mealworms that I give my chickens and put him in a dark cool room. I am building a bat box to put it in and hang outside. Am I doing the right thing?” The bat needed a rescuer to look him over to be sure he was uninjured, so we provided contact info for bat rescuers in his area so the bat could be checked over before being released.
