They can also bite surprisingly hard. Handling a bat with your bare hands to get a good look at its ass cheeks …or whatever other reasons you might have… Is ill advised.

Even if you don't feel a bite you should make sure you’re up to date on your rabies after.

Absolutely. If they’re small, you can handle them with thick leather gloves if you absolutely have to. Little brown bat’s don’t have teeth that are long or sharp enough to penetrate the leather. That won’t stop them from grabbing ahold of your finger to let you know that they are not happy.
Of course, it’s best to avoid to touching them at all if possible. Especially if they allow you to get close enough to touch them. That’s pretty unusual and can be an indicator of rabies.
This little guy (pictured) found his way into my basement, heard a spider moving in a glue trap, and managed to get stuck in said trap. He flew safely back to his buddies after we worked out our differences and he had a snack and some water.

Well, searching “bat butt” to see more was a mistake. There was only one relevant result, the rest is r34 stuff… and not in a good way.
