I'm not an expert on this, but we did have some Egyptian fruit bats at
our center, so two pieces of advice.

First, be ready to clean. Man, those critters make a lot of guano.
Second, feed them, a lot. In our mini-colony, some of the bigger, more
dominant bats hogged the food, the littler ones didn't get quite enough
and got a bit hypoglycemic (made their flying erratic). Upping the amount
of fruit + juice solved that.

Bat-s--t crazy,

can be bought so cheaply, this country is in deeper trouble than I
thought.'
In a related story, this country is in deeper trouble than Scalia
thought."
