I highly doubt it. They’re the kind of animal that would need a very large enclosure and lots of fellow bats for good quality of life. They’re not as mobile as birds when not flying, and they’re very social animals so they wouldn’t do well alone. I don’t think most birds should be kept as pets tbh but bats even less so. And that’s not even considering the risk of disease.
Makes me wonder whether a bat would be pet material 🤔

It’s highly discouraged due to the risk of rabies. Many jurisdictions have regulations against keeping native animals as pets, also.
They’d much rather be free
Who wouldn’t =)
