    just a heads-up: I think there's a troll going around wooing posts which absolutely shouldn't be woo'd. :/

    could be the typical woo mix up.

    woo=bad
    w=/= woohoo

    Can you have bats as pets? Like domesticated ones?

    Please get a couple of baby bats and try to domesticate them, and document it!

    This conjures a hilarious and adorable image! I picture them sitting on your shoulder and then getting spooked and getting caught in your hair trying to fly away.

    Would they need little bat sunglasses if you tried to change their day/night cycle?

    ...wow, I'm taking this way too far

    You can have my barn bats. They’re supposed to be great at getting rid of mosquitoes but they’re slacking

    ETA: not now, in summer

    Maybe you need more bats to keep up with the supply of mosquitoes.

    you *can* do anything i guess depending on how dedicated you are. like you could probably capture one if you really wanted.

    but then it's not really ever your bat either. its really like, nature's bat, you know

    If I'm stealing from the zoo it'll be a penguin.

    penguins are the worst though. they cheat on each other. we've been over this before don't make me post the homewrecking penguin video again.

    I love the thought you've put into this. I'd definitely want to start with babies.

    Would they have to hang on me upside down though? Maybe if I had a little branch on a necklace. Not sure about the day/night schedule yet.

    Guess you'd have to wear a sweater or something for them to grip, while they hung...and be prepared for the looks...you know the random guy in town who walks around with the bird on his shoulder? That'll be you now, but slightly more eccentric!
