You are an amazing person. I wish more people were like yourself… plus you’re witty as well; definitely a huge bonus. I think your future is exceedingly bright. Cheers from BC, Canada!
For some unknown reasons I have always been afraid of bats. However, I came across your videos and watch you and them interacting. Its amazing. They look so fragile during their growth. And more amazing is their wing span and exercising. Thank you for sharing this now perhaps I am less afraid of them.
Big bro be like "DOES PERSONAL SPACE MEAN NOTHING TO YOU!?" Little brother be like "No I definitely know what it means but I choose to ignore anything that stops me from getting as close to you as possible." 🥺
It's fascinating to read through the comments, so much knowledge about these misunderstood creatures. Hopefully people will be less afraid of them and stop senselessly killing them. I got so upset at a guy that, while putting new siding on our house, found a small nest and just killed them before I could stop him. He won't be coming back here or any other place to work if I have much to say about it. I live in a mobile home and have pulled apart the walls after hearing what I thought were mice only to find a small group of bats. I just closed up the wall and left them alone, they still haven't hurt anything.
Are you in contact with wildlife carers? IIRC on Megabattie's channel it was mentioned that microbats (only certain species?) have languages specific to certain colonies, and if they don't speak the language of their local colony, they may not be accepted and die :-( Do you have a roadmap to release them? Nice work with the subtitles :-)
I'm in contact with some (absolutely awesome) experts now; wasn't when I filmed these (video editing is slow ^^'). Whoa that's fascinating with the language! I could see that being true, considering how very readily they learned my word for "come here there's food". My plan is to get them used to a bat house, then hang that bat house outside and have them move in. That way, even if they're not accepted into the colony, they should be able to take care of themselves. Also, they're both males and I read that male pipistrelle roam around and change colonies - so I assume there's some flexibility there. But wow I gotta learn more about the language thing - do you have the link by any chance? :O
@@awesomarium370 You are lucky, I did not expect to find a video so quickly since I've watched thousands of videos by Megabattie, but thanks to google I quickly found one: th-cam.com/video/bB6z-N59uYM/w-d-xo.html In the description it says "There is also the issue of language. Microbats have language and there will be local language and dialects. If the baby is too young to have learnt the language, there is no way they can learn the language, and fit into any colony and will be rejected." That's why they always try to release the bats close to where they found them. There was another case where the bat was found on a truck that had just traveled thousands of kilometers and they had to figure out where during the journey the bat had hitch-hiked to release it there. About the roaming: Yes it seems that some species (I'm not the expert here) have different "phases" in their colonier throughout the year, phases where all cuddle together (during the winter), phases where only the females and their pups are together and the males are forced to fend for themselves, possibly in small groups, .....
@@tinawitte420 Thank you! That is fascinating; for now I have no idea how to solve this issue (both my babies were really young newborns when I found them...), so I'll just geek out about bats having freaking learned language for the time being :O
@@awesomarium370 Perhaps some other wildlife carers in your area know how to proceed, or you might ask Megabattie if she can provide you with contact to a carer who specializes with the species. Perhaps some carer in your proximity has other members of the species and they could learn from them? Enjoy the geeking out, I do so too, but with flying Foxes ;-)
@@tinawitte420 On the other hand it's not hopeless even for young orphans - I'll just leave the link to the story here without spoiling anything, because it's really worth a read :) batworld.org/tag/bat-world-sanctuary/page/2/
I don’t think he’s combing his hair, he’s cleaning himself. My cat cleans herself by licking her paws and then wipes her face, head and other areas she just licks. It’s so cute!
Can these guys eventually be moved to a large adapted bird cage to exercise--hang, spread their wings? There is bat Statler than is 30 years old, carried around a large room while spreading his wings still trying to fly. learn so much from these videos. Mammals, furry, gentle unless feeling threatened or grabbed, have watched them taking bottles, falling asleep with pacifiers, most importantly they have distinct personalities. I wish there were more public spots for education on television, so important that bats are keystone species for pollination, seed dispersal that keep ecosystems replenishing, teeth are for insect, fruit, and and greens consumption but tongues are so important for nectar, soft fruit, water. So many times have seen bats on the ground labelled as sick, no more prone to rabies than any wild animal BUT like any wild animal do not touch, call wildlife rescue, perhaps put a box over them for protection BECAUSE BATS CANNOT FLY OFF THE GROUND! Bats 'drop' into flight. Keep us updated.
Actually, it mainly applies to megabats (like Statler :-) ) that they cannot take off the ground but some microbats can. Statler really was very cute :-)
True - I had NO idea what amazing giant personalities these tiny guys have! That's why I'm sharing these videos. If one person realizes how ridiculously cute they are and stops being scared of them, that's a win :) And yeah, gonna do my best to give them the space they need~

Sky puppies!😊
Maybe the younger is still trying to find a nipple to nurse from. Never thought I would be watching baby bats & stuff. Fascinating.
Totally hooked on this series of videos. The human to baby bats relationship is just pure preciousness!
You are an amazing person. I wish more people were like yourself… plus you’re witty as well; definitely a huge bonus. I think your future is exceedingly bright. Cheers from BC, Canada!
I love how they move & everything about them!,I would like to care for every single animal if I could! Huge Animal Lover! 😄🥰

Your kindness is something the world NEEDS more of❤❤❤
He never tries to bite. So this person must definitely be mama. That is so cool. Babies are babies
He’s going to want to fly soon
I’m excited to see when they will be ready for their first grape!
No grapes for them, they're insectivores! (to my dismay, I now have the blood, ehrm, white goo of mealworms on my hands XD)
Both of them are adorable.

Love your videos ..
Amazing to watch. I don't know much about bats. What does their future hold together. Hope is a good one. They don't appear to eat if anything.v
I don’t think he’s combing his hair, he’s cleaning himself. My cat cleans herself by licking her paws and then wipes her face, head and other areas she just licks. It’s so cute!
Well, same thing I guess. Cleaning by combing out all the gunk ^^
@@awesomarium370 yes that’s true😺
sweet little angels
Thank you once more :) No worries, I'm vaccinated. And watching all the videos!
Great video! Thanks for sharing!! Btw those fine lines on their wing membranes are bones, not muscles. They are like elongated finger bones
Well, the big ones, yes. I meant those small wavy lines through the skin.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Yep - here's some slo-mo footage of how they get off the ground: th-cam.com/video/BNNAxCuaYoc/w-d-xo.html
How cool is that?! :D

@@awesomarium370 Just imagine
a) being that strong
whilst
b) still being light-weight enoug to be able to fly
😳
@@tinawitte420 Man I wish :D
