You are on your way to an eco-syatem what with fruit bats, free range phelsumas and insects.  |
They tend to fly in circles, I have vivs & racks in the middle so it gives me 2 walkways and the bats fly up one and back down the other. There is a roosting branch at the far end too and if I disturb them while they are feeding they fly off to the opposite end of the room. This room is about 25ft by 14ft.
lol...yeah, trying to think of something else to add, I did want to grow ivy (can't think of the type) all over the ceiling, mixed in with branches attached to the ceiling, then add a few misters in the air, possibly adding anoles. Not sure if I have enough space, plus I don't want the bats to roost and crap everywhere

Do they spend most of thir time above the sink then? They are obviously very cute, just fascinates me the way they are kept

they roost above the sink, so that's half their time, the rest is spent feeding and a mystery , I have some cameras being fitted this weekend, infra red, so hopefully I can see what they do when it's dark

Cheers Stu, yep they could fly straight out if I don't close the greenhouse door first  (yes it's now empty and tidy )

Sounds brilliant fun. You know what the best thing about them being above the sink is, NO SMELL!

Nice one no worries about them getting out then.. Are they letting you feed by hand at all?
