I know in some areas it is unlawful to keep and care for any native wildlife without proper permits, but I'm not sure about your area. I wouldn't risk putting a wild animal (even a newborn) in with your established pets. Just doesn't seem like any good can come of it.
Thanks. I am thinking the same thing. I posted here before looking around. I found a really cool article/blog about a baby big brown bat. http://www.art-rageous.net/BabyBat-062305.html I have decided that is what I found, since it looks identical to the pictures. Surprisingly bats only have 1 baby a year and they can live for 20 years! I put it in a shallow box with a sock of rice heated to keep it warm and I gave it some multi-animal formula I got at tractor supply to give to my nursing rats.

I am going to put him back outside up high in hopes that his mother comes to claim him, and my dog doesn't eat him. If he is still there in the morning I will contact the local sanctuary.

I have come to the conclusion I live in what some people would find scarier than a haunted house. Snake, Rats, Bats, spiders, Rottweilers... oh my. lol

Thanks for the help.
