The Bat Conservation Trust (BCT) has produced Bat Care Guidelines, in association with the BVA AWF, RSPCA and RCVS Trust, aimed at veterinary professionals, wildlife hospitals and new rehabilitators.
The document is split into basic sections including 'health and safety', 'rescue and collection' and 'ailments and treatments' which aim to provide minimum guidelines for bat care.
The new initiative is part of an ongoing partnership focusing on the rehabilitation of wild bats in the UK.

Bats are an important part of our natural environment. There are 17 species of bat in the UK, all of which are protected by law because their numbers have decreased so dramatically.
The Bat Conservation Trust is working towards a world where bats and people live in harmony, to ensure they are around for future generations to enjoy. Find out more about our work.
