4 red bat pups were found clinging to a shovel in a garage out in Rice, TX. The finder had recalled that a few days prior, a larger bat had been in the garage but flew out on its own. They realized that the pups must have been hers, and unfortunately, she would not be coming back for them. We provided guidance on how to safely contain the bats and located a bat-trained rescuer in the finder’s area. The babies were transferred to a rescuer where they will be hand-raised and released when old enough to survive.
