As two of the oldest ladies at Lubee, Lucy (34+) and Miss Pearl (31) need a few extra calories to keep their weight stable. This is why they receive supplemental feedings of Pediasure, baby food, and juice daily by staff. They are always more than happy to enjoy their smoothies!

    Here is their response:

    “All of the bats do have microchips that we can scan if we need to be 100% certain who we are with (like for a medical emergency, for example). However, some of the bats don’t love the chip reader, so it’s less stressful and quicker if we learn physical identification for everyday tasks. Most members of the animal care team started by keeping a list of every bat at Lubee and writing down identifiers that they could find or that previous animal care team members could point out to them. Eventually, the more seasoned team members can identify most of the bats by their face alone!”
