I've just found a bat in my kitchen sink. What do I do with it?

[LadySybildeChocolate]

Luckily it was in a colander so I placed a book over the top and have put it outside, but it's still int he colander. It's fairly small, would fit into the palm of my hand, and fury so I'm not sure if it's a baby (or how it got in). I haven't touched it. HELP!

I hope he pops back to say hello. I'm plotting, but I always plot. He was lovely.

Another one with well-warmed cockles at the thought of Wee Bob being looked after by his bat aunties until his mum finds him.

LadySybide are you me? (only years younger )... I am writing my first YA novel, and have a bat somewhere in my house tonight - weird! Glad your bat lady turned up to help though x

It just makes you want to melt, Grumpla.

There's some weird shit going on at the moment, BCBG, so who knows? Bat lady said there's a lot of bats out at the moment as they love the weather; no wind, it's dry and there's lots for them to eat.

Bats=rabies. Run! Haven't you seen CONTAGION?

Nope. Only 1% of them have rabies, and they don't bite if you're careful.

Ha, sorry I'm no help whatsoever but just wanted to say I completely misread that at first as you've got a brat in your kitchen sink and my first thought was "What's it doing in there? Shouldn't it be asleep in bed at this time of night?!
Sorry, as you were.........

I feel quite teary now!

Yes, Bob was a baby pipistrelle, maples, the larger one was an adult but still quite small. They were so cute.

I woke ds up to look at the bat, Samantha. Thank goodness it's the school holidays.

Here, helly, have some

You are all batty!

Sorry couldn't resist, bet its been done.

Personally I would have put it in my cauldren with toe of frog and a goats ear.

Aww, poor little Bob. He will be turned into a picture book at some point. I hope you're well, giraffes.

Not here (Ontario), Lady. You see a bat, you run a mile.

Ouch! You must get bats like this, Sriracha

Such a sweet thread. We have lots in our garden but I've never had one inside , thank goodness

I love bats. What a great adventure for you.

Awww, what a lovely ending! I'm glad he flew away :)

This might make you laugh: I went to visit my very elderly dad the other week and he'd just been listening to a programme about bats on Radio 4. He was all excited - 'Did you know bats actually have midwives to look after the females when they're giving birth! I was amazed! I always thought they laid eggs....' :o

Wasn't quite the thing I wanted to see inside my sink at half past one in the morning. It was lovely really, even if I did almost shit myself. Do you think MNHQ would move the thread if I asked them? There's some good advice on it incase anyone else finds one (and it's cute).

Syb! Followed this all day here and on FB....I showed your cutie bats pics to my friend while we were having a crafy cig on a break

Love it

(hope the new place is all lovely and DS is well and all kinds of other wonderfullness are heaping themselves on you)

Hi Val, matey Bob was very cute. His 'mum' was also cute, but larger. We're good, thank you. It's a lovely house, I'm still freaked out having found a bat in my sink and waiting for feedback on my witch. Do you think it's a sign?

There's a bat in the kitchen what am I gonna do?

Open the window and let it out.

Now that's my kind of bat .

It's cool, isn't it.
