West Virginia – babies falling from bat house

June 12, 2022 @ 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM

A homeowner in WV had baby bats falling from his bat house. He used a glove to gather them up and called us. The hot temperatures likely caused the roost to overheat. We advised hanging a pup catcher, as seen on this link, so that babies who fall can crawl back in on their own. We also advised placing the fallen babies on the net so they could crawl back into the bat house. The pup catcher also allows bats who get over heated to come down and cool off. It’s cheap to make and can save dozens of lives over the summer. The baby bats who had fallen were placed on the net and they crawled back inside the house successfully.
