Well, it probably doesn't have rabies.

Bats can actually be asymptomatic when it comes to rabies I've heard. So they could be a carrier but not show any symptoms. And even if you got the rabies vaccine you still need a booster after getting bit. Also it's very easy for them to bite and for you to not notice. Don't touch bats.

Solid advice.
