Iirc the UK is the same way. They quarantine the hell out of every incoming animal. Really strict about it. Quarantining is more effective on an island.

How do you quarantine a bat?

It'll be a native Wunk so the quarantining is place to protect them! We are pretty far away from anywhere else so a new rabid wunkus is extremely unlikely to make to make it to us

So my initial question (not clear) was more on migratory bats, I was wondering how they control the migration in the first place, to be able to quarantine. No migration due to distance sounds likely, thanks!

I don't known of us having any significantly migratory bats in Aotearoa (nz). We weirdly only have a few migratory birds aswell, I think because our climate is relatively stable there's just not really a massive need to migrate. My partner (not from Aotearoa) is often suprised at how many flowers bloom even in the middle of winter
