For New and Experienced Wildlife Rehabilitators

There are 2 levels of time investment in bat rehabilitating. They both require training; the second requires proof of current rabies shots or rabies vaccine titer.

• Transporting bats from the public to the rehabber; transporting from the rehabber to the veterinarian; helping at educational events such as a booth at a zoo.
• Doing intake on bats, feeding infants, support growth safely from infancy to flight cage, treating minor injuries for infants or adults.
  

Topics include the following:

• DFG rules and regulations & working with the public
• Intake: when to leave bats alone, when to take-in, special handling techniques and rabies protocols, intake logs, supplies
• Basic Needs: warm, dark, quiet, intake exam and handling
• Stages of Development & Corresponding Needs
• Housing Needs: Heating pads, bat boxes and specific housing requirements
• Diet: Species and age specific, diet and nutrition.
• Release: Expectations, & requirements, timing and location.
• Medical: Triage, common injuries, parasites, rabies and other diseases, medication, hydration, basic anatomy, protocols for vet visits.
