little update -

They have settled in quite well now, each morning before work I feed them their fruit, it's just turned night time when I enter and they are flying around. Once I put the fruit out they land on it within minutes Laughing

They also now leave the baby hanging in the roost, should be another two months before he starts to fly.

another update!

Firstly I came back from Hamm late Sunday and decided to check the reptile room, thought I'd have a look at the bats but could only see one adult (they should be roosting as it's daytimefrom 5pm till 6am). I had a good look round the room in other possible roosting locations but couldn't see anything, I was a little worried it may of dropped down behind a wall of vivs Sad

. As I walked back down the room I checked in a stack of aspen and found the poor fella laying in the bottom, he had obviously landed there for a little look but couldn't clomb out and the sides were too high to fly out. I reckon one more day and he would of died of dehydration. He's fine now though.

Then this morning I came into the room to find the baby bat flying around, was a lot more confident than both the adults, even landed on me and allowed me to hold him Laughing
