A manual intended for all bat-care personnel, Bats
in Captivity is the only manual of its kind, detailing the
captive care of both native and exotic bat species. Material presented
in this text is compiled from many years of experience in the captive
care of over a dozen species of bats, from assistance to the zoological
community and wildlife rehabilitators nationwide, and from published
sources. The book includes successful methods for hand raising infant
fruit, vampire and insectivorous bats. Also included is information on
bat rehabilitation, transport, exhibition, environment, housing,
nutrition, medical and necropsy considerations, plus much more. (available
gratis online from the author.)
