  1. Happy #Baturday! Here’s two of my juvenile free-tailed batties doing practice flappies to strengthen their flight muscles while also working on their interpersonal communications 🤭

    Volume up for playful #BatsInBlankets chirps.(well… ON blankets again this week) and featuring one of their roosting plushies that I call Lobster Mountain.

  2. It’s everyone’s¹ favourite holiday²… Happy #Baturday!

    Here’s 25 minutes of me³ hand feeding three baby free-tailed bats compressed to 2 minutes 😅. #BatsInBlankets #BatsInMyBelfry

    ¹my favourite
    ²weekday
    ³I’m trained, licensed, vaccinated. Don’t try this at home, etm.

  3. This velvety little bub, a free-tailed bat baby (Tadarida brasiliensis), has been in my care for a couple of weeks now along with a few other babies from his roost, all only a couple of hours or days old. They are working on their gains and becoming ever more curious about what’s going on around them. 🥰

    I hope everyone had a good #Baturday that left you as comfy as my #BatsInBlankets 🖤🦇

  4. Happy #Baturday (hashtag inspired by @mycrowgirl )

    A tricolor bat rests in a cave. Don't worry, we didn't disturb it and it is not hibernation season.

    ...we often call tricolours "flying chicken nuggies" because of their color and size as they are utterly adorable.

  6. Happy #Baturday from this eepy floof-bean! This is one of the two orphaned infant seminole bats currently in my care.

    I haven’t been posting much, because orphaned bat season is pretty all-consuming. In my corner of the globe, it last from May through the end of summer. This is broken up into several waves, broadly by genus/family.

    Thank you for the gentle nudges I’ve gotten that there is still a world outside of my wee belfry. 😅

    May you all be as comfy as my tiny #BatsInBlankets.

    [Disclaimer because someone is gonna @ me: Don’t try this at home. I’m licensed, have specialised training, and am thoroughly vaccinated. Also, bats would make terrible pets. Etc.]

  7. I can't believe that I completely spaced on World Goth Day yesterday. I mean I knew it was coming, it was even my first thought when I woke up. But then routines took over, then things I had to get done, then energy management, and finally it was nearly bedtime by the time the thought popped into my head again. ADHD can be really annoying sometimes.

    So I'll wish all my fellow goths a belated Happy World Goth Day with this picture of little bat burritos. I hope some of you got to attend some awesome events since nothing is happening in my neck of the cemetery. At least the online music party is still going today.

  10. Happy #Baturday! I have an extra special introduction this week.

    🥹 Please meet Una.

    She is this season’s first orphaned bat, and she is the very first neonate I’ve rehabbed.

    Una’s origin story is murky and sad but I will post that down thread behind a CW.

  11. A day late but happy international bat day!

    A small early cluster of Gray Bats in a recent cave. Gray Bats are endangered as they have very specific needs and roost together in the tens of thousands or more. This means they are reliant on just a couple of very specific caves, and also susceptible to disease because of the tight clustering in large numbers. Luckily, they have been generally resistant to the fungus that causes White Nose Syndrome.

    (Photographed with permission, using low light, during a period when they are not hibernating or nursing young)

  17. Luna says Happy #Baturday.

    Also, she heard that you said you love her and she says “mutual I’m sure” as if she were a background dancer in the White Christmas movie.

  18. In the "post the info you want to read" department:

    Once upon a time, a bat sanctuary cared for a 33 year old flying fox, who couldn't fly on his own anymore. So the people there lifted him up and carried him around so he could flap his wings.

  20. Happy #Baturday, Fedi. 🖤 In these strange times… take a moment to bask in this floof. He’s the bat I rescued earlier this week that was saturated in some kind of mechanical oil and exposed two nights of freezing temperatures.

    Nobody thought he would make it through the day. I won’t even post the “before” pictures because it was so very tragic. But here he is, four days later, enjoying a snack while modelling for #BatsInBlankets.

    I call him Tiny Turner. And I tell him he’s “Simply the Bats”.

    He’s not quite ready for release yet, but tonight some of my longest rehabs will finally be set free around sunset. Big feelings! 🖤🦇#BatsInMyBelfry

  23. #Baturday #Photography #Bat We put up two bat houses a few years ago and eventually bats moved in. Today I could see a bat and hear it calling, so I took a few photos…

  24. my wife wanted me to take down the umbrellas before the storm (yeah, the one that’s gonna hit later this week), but for some reason didn’t want me to bring this guy inside. idk, he looks cuddly #baturday #bats #batsodon #notbaseball

    #Caturday is also:
    #Baturday for bat fans or batmans
    #Flatterday for your boss' yesmen or flat-earthers
    #Fraturday for Animal House fans
    #Gnaturday for insect champions
    #Haturday for those with fancy chapeaus
    #Latterday for Mormons
    #Matterday for physicists
    #Patterday for salespeople
    #Raturday for cute rats
    ...oh, and in some jurisdictions it is referred to as "Saturday," but I'm not buying that one.

  26. i love #caturday but also love all #pets. more #raturday. maybe you could sneak in any of your rodent guys. is there #baturday for our #scicomm #photography people?? #gnaturday for the bug guys? #sabirday for the birders? and #satyrday for, wait, okay, i got carried away. but if you have a satyr, please show me.

    it's dies saturni, and saturn is the god of genesis and #agriculture. what's more pets than that? i love farm #animals also.

  27. I was going to make a post saying that the usage graph of the #caturday hashtag looks like cat ears but the more I look at it the more I think it resembles Batman’s mask.

    Is it #caturday or #baturday??
