What to do if you find an injured or orphaned bat? Often, bats that appear injured may just be stunned or in torpor and unable to fly away. If you find a bat we recommend leaving it alone overnight to see if it will fly away unassisted. If you pick up a bat, they are likely to bite. DO NOT handle bats. Very few bats carry rabies, but the disease is fatal so anyone who has contact with a bat should seek medical advice.
