Thank you Shell Shocked, around here (USA) no one believes me when I say squirrels, raccoons, fox, bats, etc. can carry rabies. They think I am paranoid. One friend lived in a condo not far from here, they had dying and dead bats laying in the hallways. I told her to complain to management and animal control. She just laughed. Weird. We live in a forested village and loads of wild animals opposums, ground hogs, and oops forgot also coyotes. Folks leave the dogs and cats running lose -not a good situation.

Oh My!

Rabies is fatal if you do not get the shots soon enough.

Yes, those animals do have a lot of rabies.

your welcome
and you are also right where you live you have loads of wild animal dogs are not allowed to roam around here any that do the dog
catcher picks them when you walk your dog here you must bag their crap and put it in the bins that are dotted around
most people do but some dont but if you get sussed its a 1000 pound stuck up you and sad as it is we dont have much
in the way of wild life we killed it off years ago we have loads of two legged foxs but my staffy sees them off
as for the bats weird dont cover it its close to madness bats are vermin with wings they are just as bad as rats and are well
known to carry rabies your pal wants to get her head right and do some thing before she starts frothing at the mouth haha
anyway dead bats must stink the place out stay lucky diva

Vets and vet techs often get rabies vaccines here in the states..... Or at least in high rabies states, i.e. Texas

My wife is a Vet tech and she said often people would but they where awful to get so she never did

Thanks for the explanation SCG... should have just asked you; our friendly pharmacist, from the start. Strange that even with inoculation you'd still need the series of shots if you got bit... If that's the case, why get inoculated in the first place? I guess it would give you SOME initial protection and a head start....

I have to disagree with the statement that "...bats are vermin with wings they are just as bad as rats..." Bats are actually good to have around, especially the insect eating ones as they remove a tremendous amount of insects from the environment. I also like snakes and love to have them around (yes, even the poisonous ones) as they are one of the best vermin eradicators around. They do a # on the REAL vermin; rats & mice.

Totally agree . Bats are great mosquito eaters
A single bat can eat up to 6000 to 8000 mosquito size insects each night

The foam inserts are ok. Imho if a box of Craftsman wrenches (or something similar) is on the conveyor behind the eggs....it will almost always end badly
