How to Care for Ayabat
This is a small How to Guide to inform Ayabat owners how to take care and look after their new pet bat.
1. Ayabat is a nocturnal creature and like most Diabolik bats, he will be more active during night hours. However, Ayabat sleeps on average 8 to 10 hours, very similar to most humans. There for, owners won’t need to worry about being awaken during the night. 2. Unlike most of his brothers, Ayabat’s internal clock can be changed. With a strict routine, Ayabat could live most of his waken hours during the day. But, this will require for him to live in a house well closed off from the sunlight. This will also require owners to not allow Ayabat to take naps during the day.
3. Ayabat is a very territorial pet. He will make sure that all HIS spots are clear of foes and other bats. This also means Ayabat will make his self at home anywhere you allow him too. So if an owner fails to provide small spaces for him to lay down and spend time with you, he most likely will make a nest somewhere you don’t want him to. This could be on a chair or on a pillow or in a pencil case. Moving him from his chosen spot will result in hissing and biting. 4. It’s recommended to own Ayabat as a single pet. Other bat companions will only result in fights. Ayabat will become very aggressive and might even show fangs to his owner.
5. Ayabat shows very little interest in fancy toys, however he shows a lot of interest in games. You feel like sitting around wiggling a string with a feather at the end, Ayabat will chase and jump at it. Want to pretend tag with your companion, Ayabat is down for that too. Multiple games will allow Ayabat to keep healthy and be happy.
6. An angry Ayabat will often stay around his owner. Not in order to seek comfort but to get back at them. Owners will need to be able to predict the behavior of their pet companion at all times. Otherwise, simple actions like typing on a keyboard may result in trying to get Ayato bat tacked off your harm.
7. Refuses to take baths unless it’s with his owner. He enjoys perching himself while he is scrubbed or simply soaked in a warm bath. Recommended to have a suction cup perch in the bathroom. Do not use bubble bath or strong soaps with Ayabat, he will get rashes. 8. Do to needing a diet high in sugars, like Kanabat, it’s recommended to manually brush Ayabat’s teeth. This may be a struggle because he will outright refuse to be handled. There are small beads that claim to help clean your pet’s teeth, but they don’t work as efficiently. Owners that keep at it, might see an improvement in Ayabat’s behavior during teeth brushing. 9. Ayabat enjoys back rubs and only back rubs. He has a tendency to nibble fingers if rubbed on his tummy and will kick and scratch if his wings are touched.
10. Ayabat isn’t much of a cuddle bug like a lot of the Diabolik bats are. He will stick by his owner’s side, but he’s very independent and rarely climbs onto his owner. In fact, he prefers sitting on his owners lap while they watch TV together.
