✨ BEST FRIEND LEVEL — The Ultimate Bat Buddy Experience ✨
Ready to level-up your bat obsession? At the Best Friend level, you’re not just symbolically adopting a bat, you’re joining the inner circle of one of our beautiful and social-media-famous bats… yes, the very same charismatic icons you see lighting up our feeds.
Your support helps provide the essentials (like gourmet fruits and top-notch veterinary care) and the important extras that make bat life MAGICAL: puzzle toys, bells, bubbles, paints, and everything else a bat needs to thrive, vibe, and occasionally cause enriching chaos.
When you become a Best Friend, you’ll receive:
🦇 A personalized Certificate of Adoption — frame it, brag about it, show strangers
📄 Your bat’s Fact & Bio sheet — filled with charm, science, and personality
📸 A 5x7 photo of your new bat bestie — perfect for desks, shelves, or placing right next to the pics of the kids or grandkids (😉they’ll understand)
✨ Two Lubee Bat Conservancy stickers — spread the love and of course the Lubee bat propaganda
Your adoption truly makes a difference. Every single purchase directly supports the care, enrichment, and all-around fabulousness of our bats.
 
All symbolic adoptions are lovingly hand-assembled by real humans (not bats… we tried they're all thumbs🤷‍♀️). Please allow up to 2 weeks for processing.
 
We are saddened to announce the recent loss of beloved Evening Bat, Chickpea. While we don’t know her exact age, we do know that Chickpea has been a Lubee resident for over 8 years, greatly exceeding the average life expectancy of 5 years.
 
In 2017, Chickpea was brought to a local animal hospital due to a wing injury. This resulted in the amputation of her left wing. Since she could no longer fly or survive on her own in the wild, she came to Lubee where she quickly became a very beloved resident. During her time at Lubee, Chickpea helped numerous people learn about our native bat species and their importance to our ecosystems. She traveled to local libraries, breweries, and schools to help our community learn even more about our backyard neighbors.

In her honor, all remaining Chickpea adoption packages will continue to be offered, with proceeds supporting the care of Lubee’s other incredible residents. Please note that these adoptions will be limited, as we will not be making more of them. We encourage those unable to adopt Chickpea to consider supporting another of her adoptable batty buddies in her honor.
