As you can see, "Bat Boy" fits nicely in the palm of your hand. He is eating a meal worm.

Bat Boy would drink water from an eye dropper

Offering a meal worm while he rests on a towel. This was a common feeding method. He would usually taken them gently from your hand, though occassionally if very hungry, might "miss" the worm in excitement. Because of this, we sometimes feed him with forceps instead of fingers! He NEVER intentially tried to bite or behaved in an aggresssive manner.
