When it starts getting really cold outside, I go around to all the soft-release bat houses to make sure there is nobody left inside who hasn't yet learned to find a good place to hibernate. Brought these three little females in side. Two youngsters and one adult. All big brown bats. All very chubby, which is good, but definitely on the road to be coming batcycles without intervention!

More precious than gold, yet an endangered northern long-eared bat isn't quite as big as the width of a $20 bill! This little youngster was hanging exposed on a building in the cold. He's a bit underweight and with the weather getting colder, may have to stay the winter here. Thanks to Wildlife Resolutions for the rescue and this cute photo!

Did you see the latest news today? This makes our mission at Wild Things Sanctuary more important than ever! Over the last few weeks, we've been releasing our 2024 bat pups—thanks to your support another generation of insect-eating superheroes takes to the skies!

In places where bat populations crashed, farmers sprayed more insecticides, and baby mortality spiked

BATS911! Young bats are learning how to fly, and many end up in trouble, like this little girl. She is in Oxford, NY, about an hour east of Wild Things Sanctuary. Anybody out there able to help with transport?

On hot days, the wild bats in the Wild Things Sanctuary bat houses hang really close to the entrances to get some air. I just looked up into one and was met with all these little faces. If you look closely, you can see at least two pups with their mamas 💞

Baby season started earlier than ever this year, and it's already presenting challenging cases. This little guy arrived last night with a badly bent wing bone. I carefully bent it back in place and secured it with a little mini cast. With little pups like this it's a tough balance between stabilization and not restricting the bones so that they are allowed to grow. But this time of growth also means that bones can heal nicely, so fingers crossed!

RIDE FOUND!! Thank you everybody! 🤗

BATS911: Hi everyone! I just got a call from Canisteo, NY, for a big brown bat in a home who was found cornered by the family's 3 cats and dog, so it may be injured, the finder isn't sure. The finder said she could get it to Corning so I was wondering if anybody could do the batmobile relay and meet up with her to bring it the rest of the way to Wild Things Sanctuary. Let me know!

Wildlife rehabilitation is tough even in the best of times. Our hearts and prayers go to our counterparts in areas of the world experiencing war and hardships. Animals are often the forgotten victims of human conflict. The Israeli Bat Sanctuary Ukrainian Bat Rehabilitation Center Sudan Animal Rescue حديقة السودان للحياة البرية

🟣🟡🔨 Looking for some volunteers in Israel 🔨🟡🟣

Everyone at the sanctuary is extra busy with the double load of both rescues in the warzone and regular bat volunteering.
We are in great need of volunteers for some physical work at the sanctuary - putting up fences, planting, things of that kind.

So if you have friends in Israel who might be willing to help, please tag them 🙏
Work will be held on Friday 27.10, 9:00-12:00

The sanctuary is in Moshav Aderet (near Beit Shemesh), and of course you will get a bonus treat and meet the bats 😁

Contact us at 054-9249149
And please share ❤
