Silver-haired bat and a few other pics

Edit:  Oh yeah, Happy New Year ya'll!  Party girl that I am, I almost forgot ^^




Earlier in the week someone brought me a beautiful silver-haired bat he had found on the side of a city street.  He seems very healthy, so I'm just gonna fatten him up with crickets and mealworms and release him in the spring when it gets warmer.  Managed to get a couple of videos of him - Here he is getting a drink of water from an eyedropper.  Shortly after which he got away from me and flew around the living room for several minutes.  At least I know his wings are fine!

Warning:  If you think the sight (and sound) of a cricket being messily devoured by sharp little bat teeth might disturb you - DON'T WATCH THIS ONE!

And a few pics - Here's Jazz the skunk, in her little nest.  She likes to stuff it full of newspaper.  Luna is in there too - even though I've got two hideouts, they always cram into the same one; how they fit, I have no idea!  I'm still trying to get good Jazz video - she's not been very cooperative though >_>




And three of the six little opossums that I've been overwintering.  They're all growing beautiful fluffy winter coats finally, and when I went to check on them they all gave me scary opossum faces, which is what I like to see for my wild childs (as opposed to "hi mom, where's lunch" faces).
