Because of our weather, bats have not yet hibernated. They like 35 degree temperatures. If you find one shaking, it is not due to the temperature but the bat getting its blood flowing. These wonderful but spooky critters can easily be transported to a different location. Place an ice cream bucket over the bat, slide a piece of stiff paper underneath, pick the bucket and paper up, and deposit it outside so that the bat can fly free. Since it is blind, you can do this in the light or the dark. The bat won’t care. Have a fun Christmas with your friends and family. Take a deep breath. New Years is on its way.
Thanks for caring about the critters,
Patti
