    Interesting note on not putting on the ground, guessing they don’t need a lot of runway to take off though. The ones I’ve caught I would bring out in whatever I caught them in and just open it. Even the one that had a part of the wing skin missing (my cat caught it first) seemed to take off without issue from a standing height.

      Maybe it depends on the species of bat? I only know about the ones local to me and what I was taught from a wildlife rehab hotline on how to handle bats that get in the house.

      Super interesting though! Animals are fascinating
