      In fact this is a standard handling technique for examining a bats genitals, which is important in sexing and ID

      Idk why youre handling bats but assuming you've never been formally taught if you don't know this is standard practise + in no way harmful

      When I first started handling bats some people did use this technique for smaller bats however it was discouraged as unnecessarily stressful

      You can, or you can avoid it entirely & use a much less distressing hold & achieve the same outcome in terms of measurement, id & sexing.

      There are other risks associated with other handling techniques e.g. crushing, self injury etc. What's most important is caution + care

      I understand the need for care and caution. Less distressed animals are less likely to struggle and cause themselves harm 2/2

      I find some bats bite and struggle more when supported which can easily injure teeth 🤷 sometimes it's a case of assessing at the time

      The appropriate grip depends on the circumstances, many bats are perfectly happy in a pinch grip, these are the photos which we share
