    I think my fave frame is 1:06…adorable little creatures, I love the squeaking!

  2. The wings and spindley things make me shudder, but the little ratty/bear-y fuzzy faces make me squeee!

  3. sugitomo says:

    So much to squee about!
    1) Overflowing arms of baby bats
    2) Little squeaky McSqueakersons
    3) They look like little wolverine pups with wings
    4) Grippy toes and fingers
    5) Itty, bitty baby milk bottles

    Great page about helping keep bats alive down under.

      Rescue Gal, yes. I have been following this page for a while. The babies just recently wet to crèche. That’s where they stop having human contact & start learning how to be bats. It’s tough for the people who foster these guys, but it’s so wonderful…and it’s REALLY changing people’s opinions about bats. I showed a lady at work a fruit bat/flying fox face..and then told her what it was. She was amazed & fell in love.

  7. Bada says:

    Oh good, now I want my house full of cute squeaky bats.

    • Karen says:

      ME TOO! My first thought was: I wonder how much trouble it would be to make my house a bat rescue. My second thought was: I wonder if there’s one nearby where I could volunteer. (The answer is no, but I’m eyeing the wildlife rescues…!)

  11. ZeppthePug says:

    Am I the only one who thinks that these little guys look like Schipperkes?

  12. Angel says:

    Just hangin’ around between bouts with blankets, binkies, ‘n burps

  13. Gigi says:

    I love bats, always have and always will.
    My fave frame is at 0:55 little bat wrapped in a yellow bunny ear blanket.

  14. Jetlaya67 says:

    That is way beyond cute. I would be afraid to handle them, they look so delicate! They look like little tiny pups.

  15. N. Fritz says:

    Is that a bat cone of shame @:30???

  16. N. Fritz says:

    Mod Lounge… what goes good with lasagne?! Please don’t say “a nice chianti!”

  17. Kari Callin says:

    I’m in the mod lounge too! Not sure why! All I said was “ack! baby bat cone of shame! Ack!”

  18. noellesbootcutkittenpants says:

    So impossibly sweet and cute. I love the rows of snuggly drinking batlets.

  19. Kar says:

    How the heck can you people have fave moments?

    Mine’s at 15 sec but then again 31 brings me to my knees. However 38 made me squeal but 55 should come with a warning. 59 makes my teeth hurt but 1:09 makes my heart hurt. then 1:15 just finishes me off.

  20. Bunny says:

    I want one of the little black ones. They look just like my little black Pom named Boomer. So So So cute…….I actually kept a LBB (Little Brown Bat) overnite once when it had a run in with a neighbor. Luckily she called me right away. She accidentaly knocked it out of its hiding place. It was not really injured but seemed a little woozy. Before I released it, I gave the neighbor kids a lesson about bats and they got to see it close up (but not too close). I like to educate the kids and adults on wildlife that is misunderstood as much as possible.

  21. Hanglyman says:

    “Want to help the bats?”

    Yes yes yes! I want to go volunteer and bottlefeed them right now!
