My dad was a veterinarian, I am very aware of rabies and the deadlines of it. Many vets have been elbow deep in a necropsy only to realize the animal died of rabies. That doesn't mean that OP has exposed themselves to rabies. If OP wore gloves to handle the animal, there is no problem. I stand by my statement.

OP didn't say they were bit, scratched, or didn't wear gloves. Way to overreact.

Gloves. Who on earth would handle a wet wild animal without gloves? And look at the picture. That bat bit no one. And the trained medical professional in my description was absolutely exposed to rabies and got shots.
