Colorado BatCREW is an association of Colorado licensed wildlife rehabilitators and transport volunteers dedicated to bat rescue/rehabilitation, conservation and education in Colorado.
If you have found an injured or displaced bat, please follow the instructions found here. It is very important to follow these procedures to ensure the animal has the best chance of rehabilitation and subsequent release.
Additionally, we provide educational opportunities to local schools and community groups. Colorado laws prevent the use & display of our native bats, but our experienced rehabilitators have the tools and educational materials to help our communities learn the benefits bats bring to our ecology and economy.
A small bat with pale tan to dark brown fur. This bat eats gnats, crane flies, beetles, moths and mayflies. Little Brown bats can sometimes eat more than their body weight in insects each night. They are common in Colorado and live in roosts.
The pallid bat is known for its unique habit of feeding almost entirely from the ground. With its huge ears, it can detect insects simply by listening for footsteps, and it can respond accurately to a split-second sound from up to 16 feet away.
