    How cute! Happy birthday!

    Unfortunately in the USA bats often have rabies, so it's not a good idea for us to handle them. How cool to live and visit somewhere that it's safe.

    Happy birthday! What an adorable little bat. I just read the book Stellaluna to my library kiddos, and they all wanted to take bats home with them. Looks like you did. He's quite adorable!

    Actually, I'm not sure if it was safe... I might have rabies now! but then he was just a wee baby, hardly any teeth... what are the symptoms of rabies?

    Tri Girl, Oh yeah i've read stella luna. awesome story.

    I'm not huge on touching animals in general, coz they bite, it took me 5 mins to settle my internal debate that he was a baby and wasn't gonna pierce holes in my hand...

    Once you have symptoms of rabies, it's pretty much too late.

    If you were not bitten you're fine, don't worry about it.

    Otherwise, whenever you're bitten by an animal you don't know, get a rabies shot immediately.

    Happy birthday!

    Rabies kills humans, I believe Grog is correct you wouldn't show symptoms until too late. The treatment is shots, it used to be several shots (5?) but my vet friend said they don't have to do quite so many anymore. He got sick as could be but no one survives rabies (except as a vegetable) so I guess vomitting for a day was okay by him. Again unless the little guy bit you then you are okay.
