Important PSA:![]()
This is turning out to be a very hard spring for our maternity colonies. We think the cold nights are preventing the mothers from adequately feeding their pups. We are getting reports of fallen, skinny, dehydrated pups from all over.![]()
However, not every fallen pup needs to come into rescue! Please see the little one here climbing strongly and showing off its plump little butt cheeks. ![]()
Any pup that is not able to climb, and that is visibly thin or crawling with ectoparasites needs to be called in ASAP! We will do our best to find the closest resource and point you to available transport. But please know that time is of the essence for these guys, and sometimes that means a ride to your closest rehabilitation facility. Thanks for helping. Every bat is precious.![]()
