Those girls are missing a few brain cells and just can't be helped anymore, no matter how often RLC sets traps... the doors stay open at night.

By the way, I wonder if those girls know that 20% of bats carry the rabies virus and poop and pee while flying... live bombings during the night 😁

Then wouldn't there be a lot more rabies cases among pets and even humans in Europe if that were true?... So I looked it up and it's not true, at least not for European bats: 

"In Europe, only about 2.2% of bats submitted for diagnostic testing are actively carrying bat lyssaviruses (the rabies-related viruses found in Europe). Among healthy, wild populations, the active infection rate is generally believed to be considerably lower. [1, 2]

Risk to Humans: The risk of human contraction is exceedingly low. Over the last 35 years, there have been fewer than a handful of laboratory-confirmed human cases linked to bat lyssaviruses in Europe. [1, 2]

Important Safety Note: Because all mammals in Europe can potentially transmit the virus if bitten or scratched, health authorities strongly advise against handling bats with bare hands. If you ever find a grounded or injured bat, use thick gloves and contact a local wildlife rescue."

And the reason the girls leave the doors open is probably not missing brain cells, but circulation: perhaps it gets quite stuffy in there with all the doors/windows closed? If girls (you know, the humans getting a meltdown when even just seeing a mouse in traditional cartoons; one might also say the current girls are not very squeamish instead of stupid...) prefer rats/bats over stuffiness, perhaps there's something wrong with the airco? Is there even airco?...

Anyway ...with Amirel residing there now, will we see any bubble baths with her and some of the other residents.

We don't know these people as you often say ...I'm just sharing what I merely think what Liora is probably thinking ...just like what you are doing ...thinking 😜. None of us actually know of course. 

I admit I'd be gutted if I were in Liora's shoes, so your assumption would have been my first one too, but she's smart (I think 😄) and knows that Amirel is not responsible but RLC management 😉 

And she has the PH for a few days! 😛

First part I agree yes, anyone would be gutted let's face but smart or not she can still quite easily think this in her head no matter who was responsible for this quite normal decision on RLC. I'll stick with what I initially said though 🤭

The Dutch species accounts for 20% and also occurs in others lands  and dogs that catch a bat also become carriers and spreaders so the spread becomes much wider. A friend of mine got it from his own dog, probably by catching a bat (it has been seen).

But then why doesn't it happen to humans & pets in Europe/The Netherlands a lot more?... I live not far from your country and rabies is virtually unheard of here... But of course there's always a very tiny chance. Not disputing that.

Haha well, that was the big change to the villa and the important news from Bodgan... what a joke, but luckily the rats are back so there is still something worthwhile to see.

Not sure new tenant arrival could be considered as an important/big news for tenants...

I think it was again a miisunderstanding 🤣

They could already be infected and slowly transforming. 🦇
Have they been drinking excess amounts of water? LOL

I wonder if they know this?
"their teeth are so tiny and sharp that a bite or scratch can be completely painless and leave no visible mark".

You really have to pick them up and get bitten, and nobody does that here.
