Can you have a pet bat in connecticut?

that's because bats are wild animals, not pets. DO NOT get a bat! not cool. hard to keep. you can't have just one, some species live in large groups.

Bats are very hard to keep as pets. Firstly, they are colony creatures, you'll need a few of them. Secondly, they have EXTREMELY delicate wings that will probably get broken in a regular household...they can even break them on regular barred cages. Feeding will be difficult, they have a nasty bite and don't often become tame. They are also banned in most places as pets due to rabies fears. It IS possible to keep fruit bats as pets, but they have all of the above flaws. Plus. They. STINK. Trust me! Bats are not rodents. If you don't know this simple fact, you are not ready to own them. You need to do a LOT of research if you are serious about this idea.
