FRUIT BATS! PLEASE READ before messaging. Seba's Short-tailed Fruit bat (Carollia perspicillata). Message me for info. Legal states only or w/permit. I’m located in Florida.





Sold in groups of minimum 5 animals, $200 each. They’re a species that is found in groups, so I will not offer lone animals or pairs. It’s not ethical.





RARELY OFFERED





Seba Short-tailed fruit bats do best in an enclosure w/ soft plastic 1/6-1/8th” mesh that allows a “bounce” and a minimum 3’ x 6’ x 5’. I can suggest mesh for this purpose. They generally don’t do as well in enclosures using a hard mesh, but in a larger enclosure, pvc coated mesh with some modifications can work.





Diets can vary, but is a fruit eating species that I provide fresh fruit that is slightly puréed (I just add fruit with vitamins to a metal bowl and go at it with a knife) and offered in food containers.





Willing to exchange groups for/towards female sloths, female/pairs Jamaican Fruit Bats, Straw Colored Fruit Bats, female Egyptian Fruit Bats unrelated to my group, Vampire Bats, other bat species, female Keel-billed Toucan, female Croc Monitors, Rock Hyrax, Chilean Flamingos, Tayra, Eastern Spotted Skunks, Plains Spotted Skunks, Red-billed Hornbills, Galapagos/Aldabra/Radiated Tortoises, Aubrey’s Flapshell Turtles, a couple other animals that might fit into my current plans.





Please send me your phone number, the best email to contact you, the state you legally reside in, and your FULL NAME (and if with a facility, which one). I will not respond to people in states that they’re illegal or that you don’t send me a copy of your permit I can verify. I will not break any laws for any reason. Don’t ask.





Bats are not for most people. If they are not a good fit for you, I will not offer them to you. It’s that simple, the animals come first.
