HANDLING WILDLIFE
Found an injured, sick or orphaned bat? Place a t-shirt or other soft cloth into a small, secure box or container (with small air holes). Gently place the bat inside and close the box or container. Provide a small dish of water – no bigger than a bottle lid – for the bat to drink from. Keep in a warm, safe, quiet place until help arrives.
