Hello, everyone!
I have two questions:

#1:  Does anyone know of a source for getting Fruit Bats?

#2:  Does anyone know of a good way to make - or better yet fake a
"rainforest-style" cabin (particularly the palm-frond thatch roof - without
using palm fronds)

This all relates to a temporary exhibit we're building on the rainforest.
 We're getting all of the permits for the critters we desire, but we don't
have a definite source for obtaining fruit bats.  Ideally we would borrow
the fruit bats January - May, although we might be willing to purchase them
depending on the price - particularly if we could sell them back to the
originators at some percent (so we would essentially rent them).

Thank you for all of your help.

-William
