EEEYIKES!!
it bit THROUGH the glove - OMG!!
We had bats at the old place. Once in awhile they'd get in the house - super high ceilings too. Out came the tennis rackets.
One night I decided to count...... over 300 flew out of the highest eaves. We did A LOT of screening and such to get rid of them. I HATE BATS.
While not my favorite "flying mammal" bats do sooo much to keep down the insect population... I sure don't discourage them.
I understand the problem with keeping the "munchkins" away from the bat in the cage after you got it "oiled" and off the sticky paper... but you really should have left it somewhere it could have gotten out during the night time so you didn't get bit... they do carry some nasty diseases...
Sorry for you having to go through the rabies shots... but mandatory in that situation... sorry to say, but the next time one might get on the sticky paper... cut out the piece and drown it for everyone's safety . No more shots and not a problem for kids to get into it... and no more chances of you getting bitten.
Huh. A flock of black vultures are chasing my bucks off their grain every day and eating it down like birdseed. I just came out at an off time and suddenly things are making sense. I am not. Happy.
The black vultures are the worst thing that ever happened to farmers in this country after STOOPID SUBURBAN IDIOTS......
They will get aggressive to you too if they think they can "cow" you... SSS or anyway you can get rid of them... yes it is legal in most states, you can get a permit... if you feel the need....
If you feed inside and they come in.... a hanging "fishing net" can get them flustered if you come out at an odd time, scare them, and they cannot fly up and off... and they can get caught up in it...
