You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

No. Like your own excrement, that of vampire bats consists of what is left after the food (in this case blood) has been digested plus some waste products. There would be very little of it. Most of the water and most of the nutrients in the blood are absorbed by the bat as blood is highly digestible.

Vampire bats live exclusively on blood. They do not eat anything else.

One of my favourite podcasts is called The eclectic review

They recently did a fascinating episode about Vampire Physiology.Where the extrapolated information about known 'vampires' such as the Vampire bat and the Mosquito and applied it to the fictional vampires from legend and mythology.

It worked really nicely and they explained and predicted what sort of behaviour, and problems such a creature would have... including its digestive and excretory systems.... Because of the large amount of water found in blood any vampire would have to be able to get rid of it quickly or it would be too heavy to move or fly... so its more likely to pee than to poop.

You can find the episode here Its only 30 minutes in length, but its well worth hearing

Rather than deduce without data, you should look up a bit of information. For example, vampire bats do not and cannot eat insects.

You can't trust answer sites. Including Mahalo! You have to follow up on their references, if any.

I suppose anything with an ass has the ability to poop blood.
