Is there any way to buy a few bats to start a colony? I have a bat house in my backyard, but no bats.
You may want to do a bit of research on bat houses, it can take awhile to establish a colony in a newly hung bat house, depending on the time of year you installed it. There are a few specifics you need to know when hanging a bat house, for example, it needs to maintain a certain internal temperature without getting overly hot, so you will want to use a water based paint of a predetermined color based on your location. Bat houses need to be hung at least 12 – 20 feet off of the ground, it should receive at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight, and be within proximity to water. You can look at Batcon.org for useful tips on hanging a bat house. The TN Bat Working Group has some helpful links and information for bat houses as well.
Purchasing native wildlife, even for the purpose of starting a bat colony for conservation purposes, is illegal. Most wildlife rehabilitators can’t even get permits to rehab bats because a small percent of the population has been shown to carry rabies. Hope that helps. Good luck!
