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

@mycrowgirl Nature's Cheetos! 🦇 ₒₘₙₒₘₙₒₘ
@catsalad and sometimes… nature’s gogurt.
He's so floofy. His little shaggy haircut. His little hyperspeed noms. This is the most batty bat I've ever had the good fortune of seeing, he's so small and sweet and just the MOST precious little sky puppy I have ever seen. I love him as much as I love hoary bats 😭

@elindur One day I will get to snuggle* a hoary bat 😭 (absolutely bat-goals).

*safely handle in a wildlife appropriate way.

If you do, please post pictures. I don't know what it is about those little guys but they've always been my favorites. Also, I envy you so much, you get to work with the sweetest little insect-controlling babies in the world 🥹
@mycrowgirl Yay to all the recovering batties and congrats to tonight's releasees!
@mycrowgirl I love your bat-posting very much, and am so glad that this little flying floof is recovering so well!! 💚💚
@mycrowgirl It looks kind of like the lead singer of the Ramones
@d1 something about the lips, I can see it 🤣
@mycrowgirl thank you for helping the tiny floofs!
@mycrowgirl
Wow! How did you find him? He's so lucky that you did 💞
@bayport all of us (certified, vaccinated) bat rehabbers in the area talk to each other, so when someone calls for help we can quickly get help to the little one. In this case the homeowner reached out when they found him, and I got tagged in to help him 🥰
