How Soon Can Baby Bats Fly
It is not rare for the mother bat to hit the power lines. While the mother bats will not survive, it does not necessarily mean that the baby bats can't However, they have yet to develop their strength to fly. To teach the baby bats to fly, the mother bats will literally kick the babies out of the nest. This behavior has been verified through the study conducted at Gamboa, Panama.
How Baby Bats Learn to Fly
After more than 3 weeks, the mother bats will be displaying a unique behavior. Before the mother will leave the nest, she will repetitively tap the forearm of the pups. Upon doing this, the baby bats will temporarily stop nursing. It may flutter for a bit but will eventually cling back to the mother bats. They will be doing this several times per day for 30 minutes before hunting for foods.
The Nudging Behavior
Perhaps the most interesting fact that you will notice about the mother bats would be its nudging behavior. Nonetheless, the information toward this is still insufficient. Lots of things are known about the way that bats communicate but not on its behavior. As the days of fledging approach closer, the baby bats will get the idea. The nudging of the mother bats will reduce significantly. The pups are now aware that it is time for them to stop depending on the mother bats. They will detach and reattach to their mother until such time that they can fly on their own.
As the baby bats grow bigger, it will be more difficult for the female bats to carry them. In fact, some mother bats will forage and leave their pups in the colony. The babies are actually safe even though most adult bats are out of the cave to hunt for the day.
Bat Removal and Exclusion
During the nesting season, we highly discourage homeowners from excluding the bats in their roosting site. Since it will take more than 3 weeks before the baby bats will learn to fly, they will be highly dependent to the mother bats. They can die from starvation or dehydration if you separate them from the adult bats. Therefore, it is crucial to have a regular inspection of the key areas of your house to ensure that there is no presence of bats in your house. You may increase the frequency of your inspection during May. Usually, baby bats have yet to be born during this time.
Bat exclusion during the nesting season will not only be unlawful, it is also considered inhumane. The baby bats will not be able to fly and will eventually die. Sometimes, they will be trying to look for food and they can end up in the void of our walls. Once they die, removing their carcass can be difficult. The mother bats outside will also attempt to go back to the building multiple times. The mother bat can use an insignificant crack or hole to return inside.
