Even though you may mean no harm to the cave itself, there would be some that would. That is why we encourage grottos in your area. All grottos welcome new members, and cavers are the best and friendliest people you will ever know. Think about it, you would have to rely on each other when your in a cave, so why not become friends with them. They are always there when you need them.
Bats hibernate in the winter due to lack of food.
Bats usually live off of insects and naturally insects are not available during the winter. Did you know that if you wake a sleeping bat that he will more than likely die due to the lack of food. Bats are very interesting creatures of the night and we should give them the utmost respect. They help us keep the insect population down. A colony of 1,000 bats could consume as many as 4,500,000 insects in a night.
