[CHICKENS-101] holding a bat by the scruff of its neck? :) Really?

 

Hi Cathryn,


Okay, that takes the cake!  HOW in tarnation did you manage to hold a bat by the scruff of its neck?  Was it asleep when you picked it up?  This whole idea puts a big smile on my face! :)  :)

Whew!  Did you have gloves on?

I got bit by a bat this fall in the barn.  It may have been in the hay or just flying around. It 'hit my hand" and I had a "regulation size" bat scratch (and two teeth mark indents), and got a series of rabies shots. 

Good thing for me, it is an innoculation that will likely last at least ten years, so now I can be the resident bat handler.  And if you could describe how to pick up a bat by the scruff of its neck.... maybe I'll try that next time we have a bat in the house....

Did you already get a rabies shot?  That you are not afraid to pick up a bat?

Thanks for writing!

Truly,

Britta

My husband had a bat in his room. I caught it and let it go. He was going to kill it. They have amazing tiny needle like teeth. Really glad I had it by the scruff of it's neck.
