> Subject: Fruit Bats and Palm Fronds
> *****************************************************************************
>
> 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.
