  1. He was extremely underweight but thankfully appeared uninjured. The only problem was, he refused to fly. After a week, I thought it best to have him x-rayed. Thankfully, no hidden injuries — so home we came. The good news is that in the safety of a soft puppy playpen, the last few nights he's tried to fly to the mesh playpen wall. We still have a way to go, but it’s a step in the right direction. Fingers crossed for him.

    Happy New Year! 2023 is here!
    Bats are still hibernating, which is a state of inactivity characterised by lower body temperature, slower breathing, and lower metabolic rate. They will slowly start waking up in Spring when temperatures increase and insects are around.

  3. A seasonal reminder that there is only one type of mammal that can truly fly. While the 1400+ bat species found across the world are all unique, this is one characteristic that they all share.
