Price: $3,550 / pair.

Availability: Bat's are truly amazing animals, however, they are not a pet in the traditional sense. Although they are easily tamed to take food from your hand, etc., they stress easily and are not something to be held as most other animals. They are strictly for display. Bat's don't do well individually, the larger the colony, the more they will thrive. If you are interested in obtaining bats for your park, zoo, breeding program, etc., we offer them by the pair only, in groups of two or more. If you have done your research, and understand they are more of a hands off pet, you can purchase them below. Please note, the bats in our store are not for sale! They are ours personally, and kept in the store on public display for education and outreach! Bats are sold by special order. Step one, research, step two, purchase them, step 3, we will help you with your Florida permit (permit is free, and our assistance is at no additional cost!), step 4, wait for your permit, which is usually around 8 weeks. Your bats will be in store and ready for pickup by the time your permit is in hand!

Cancelation / refund: Please note, all sales are final. You are purchasing a companion, not a product. This is a big commitment, and we ask you to do the research and be fully committed before checking out. Also, once an animal is sold or preordered, they are considered unavailable. This means if you purchase and change your mind, it can potentially cost the animal a fur-ever home, as even with preorders, quantity is limited, and once the number is reached, other potential adopters will be told no. Due to this, animals are not refundable or transferable.
