Do you think my mom would let me have this

I love wild animals too. Sure you can “keep” bats and foxes and the like…just find your local wildlife rescue and volunteer ! They’ll teach you how to feed , house, handle, and care for the wild ones… and maybe you can get a wildlife rehab license ! We need people like you , who love the sometimes ugly ones..to help save them ! PS. You’ll need to go to your doctor for rabies vaccines… ouch..they hurt the arm… but bats are high carriers of ALWAYS fatal rabies…and foxes, skunks, and raccoons are also . Dawn :)

mytserywolf is right I’ve had pet bats before but my mum is a wildlife carer, and she has a license to keep pets like those without a license it would be illegal to own one and you can end up paying a huge fine for having them

Bats would probably be out of the question, because although the species is now supposed to be protected, they were on the list of endangered species. I’m not sure about foxes, although farmers dislike them and there have been many fox-hunts happened in the past. Also, the fox is more commonly a wild animal, so it wouldn’t be very fair to take one from it’s natural habitat. It’s important to think about what’s best for the animals, and I don’t think bats or foxes would be very happy being cooped up in a house, garden or animal pen, etcetera.

Bats around here carry rabies…not all, but all it takes is ONE…I’m quite sure they are illegal.
