This is a small How to Guide to inform Hirobat owners how to take care and look after their new pet bat.

1. Hirobat, like many of the Diabolik bats, is most active at night. However, owners will have to worry very little of being woken up by this one. Hirobat will spend most of his night looking for food or making his cage as clean as he can. Owners may be woken up by this if they are light sleepers. 2. Hirobat can be a little expensive considering his eating habits. Owners won’t need to provide the most expensive food, but Hirobat has quite a lot of place for it. Make sure to give Hirobat foods that are not to high in fats and plenty of fruits and proteins. Hirobat will eat pretty much anything, even the food in your plate if you’re not careful.

3. This bat will do very well in most social conditions. If an owner feels like they would like multiple bat pets or pets of other kinds, Hirobat will remain pretty friendly. Keep in mind that Hirobat is more of a docile male, so pairing him up with a dominant female or male won’t cause much of a problem. 4. Hirobat has shown particular interest in computer screens and televisions. It’s speculate that this enjoyment comes from the amount of colors on a screen and how it flashes. You can tell Hirobat is enjoying the experience as he will swing his body side to side or up and down as he watches what is being displayed. So make sure to let him enjoy this experience with you.

5. Despite being quite calm and not very aggressive, Hirobat is quite chatty. Expect a lot of little squeaking while you are in the same room as him. Owners that encourage this behavior will often notice Hirobat engaging in conversations frequently. Take note that this behavior will also show in the socialization Hirobat will have with his other bat companions, sometimes resulting in multiple bats squeaking.

6. Like most pets it will be important to keep a close eye on Hirobat’s aggressive behavior and destructive tendencies. Hirobat is known for clawing into carpets, sofas, cushions and mattresses. This is often a sign of lack of activity and play time. An angry Hirobat will often be very quiet and distant. Failing to notice this will result in getting nipped or bitten. 

7. Hirobat enjoys nibbling on fingers and toes, this is often not painful and is very similar to teething. Hirobat will often do this with his owner or bat mate. Be aware, this is not aggressive behavior, it is playfulness. 8. Do not allow this bat outside. Hirobat will forage for food to bring back to his nest. Occasionally causing him to ingest toxic plants for their kind or munching on pointy objects. This can also result in poisoning his bat companions. 9. Hirobat will often demand to be picked up or given attention. It will often happen 2 hours before his set bed time. Hirobat enjoys being scratched under the ears and chin. Wing and cheek massages are also welcome. Hirobat will often allow his owner to pet him for as long as they like and not make much of a fuss.

10. Hirobat will need very few toys to keep him amused. His favorite toys are those he can chase and few on. Shoe laces and bouncing balls seem to be favorites. Make sure to have toys that Hirobat will not accidentally swallow. Avoid squeaky toys or toys that make sounds, Hirobat will obsessively try to figure out what the sound was, often resulting in fear and confusion towards the toy.
