Bats plunge to ground in cold; saved by incubators, fluidsNearly 1,600 bats found a temporary home this week in the attic of a Houston Humane Society director, but it wasn’t because they made it their roost.But during her 40-minute drive home, Warwick said they began to come back to life, chirping and moving around in a box where she collected them and placed them on her heated passenger seat for warmth.Storm dumps heavy snow in northern Arizona, rain in desertNational Guard checks homes in Buffalo for blizzard victims1 storm departs California as another lines up to enterSouthwest Airlines flight cancellations continue to snowballWarwick said each of the bats were warmed in an incubator until their body temperature rose and then hydrated through fluids administered to them under their skin.After reaching out to other bat rehabilitators, Warwick said it was too many for any one person to feed and care for and the society’s current facilities did not have the necessary space, so they put them in her attic where they were separated by colony in dog kennels and able to reach a state of hibernation that did not require them to eat.Next month, Warwick — the only person who rehabilitates bats in Houston — said the society’s entire animal rehabilitation team will be vaccinated against rabies and trained in bat rehabilitation as they prepare to move into a larger facility with a dedicated bat room."
