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.

@hexmaniacmarcy@gaygeek.social This is just called a clean slate. Now you gatta keep calm and use Mastodon. Heh, that almost works. Hashtags will be your friend. Follow one you might like, such as #BatsInBlankets or #OwlsInTowels to name a couple. Then branch off from there in order to view others who use that hashtag. Connect. Start viewing the world from their view, and interact if you want. No one's forcing you to join. I chime in from time to time, but still like to lurk in the shadows.

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.

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 🖤🦇

Happy #Baturday! For today’s #BatsInBlankets, I offer: The Seminole Bat Babies’ “Cirque du Silly”

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.]

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. #BatsInBlankets #BatsInMyBelfry
