The only book of its kind!,

This review is from: Captive Care and Medical Reference for the Rehabilitation of Insectivorous Bats (Hardcover)
Scientists sit in their ivory towers and theorize about bat care. Lollar and French share their work and findings from the trenches, where real bat care takes place. The information contained in this book gives a factual, unique, easy-to-understand, and compassionate look into the complicated world of bat rehabilitation. While keeping public safety at the forefront, the book outlines specific details on the proper care of captive bats, including recommended supplies, life-insuring measurements, and diagrams. This book is an absolute must for bat rehabbers!
