I used to have bats living under my plant boxes but now they're all gone. Do you think it might have something to do with me feeding them this 'Monsanto Bat Feed' that I bought?
I know bats are awesome to have around they eat lots of mosquitoes. If I had a chance to live wherever I wanted I would consider Waynesboro or Savannah TN or South to Florence or Muscle Shoals AL. Beautiful land and you can be out all day long in the yard and not get one bite. They have lots of little bat caves around there I believe.
I just wonder what is killing the bees and the bats? A couple of years ago, I had a bat on my screened in porch one night and thought nothing about it. The next morning, it was still there. There was a hawk in the area and I knew that the bat was going to die but I didn't want him/her to die that way, so I put it in a shoebox (made sure it had air) and turned it upside down and put it in the basement. I tried to use a dropper to give it water, but it wanted none of that, so I left it down there to die in peace. It died (don't remember any white crust) and I cried, went out an bought a jewelry box (makes a nice casket) and buried it in my backyard. What a shitty story. I also had a baby bat when I was a kid (found it in the flower bed one day) that I tried to keep in a birdcage but being a stupid kid, I didn't know that they weren't to be out in the sun and I may have killed it. I cried then too, but buried in my side yard.
Let me sum up these stories - Nausey finds it, confines it, and cries when it dies. I hear a song chorus "find it, confine it, cry when it dies" "should it chose to live I poke out it's eyes." "nail it to a board, put it out in the sun." "being cruel to animals is so much fun."
