No, I didnt feel anything, I'm just paranoid about it lol.
And yeah i looked it up, theres an 0.5% of it actually having rabies, but still I'm just wondering.

It would feel like being pricked by needles, but, yeah, if you have working pain nerves, you're going to feel it.

Bat bites can actually go undetected, but this usually occurs while someone is sleeping. Bats are symptomatic carriers of rabies, meaning that unless the bat was acting weird (laying on the ground or flying around during the day) you are fine. Plus, you are more likely to die of a lightening strike than a rabid bat.

You might not be able to feel it, though it's likely there is no problem. STILL- I recommend you write it on your calendar "Bat inTina's house" or something, and then if you do start to feel bad you will remember the bat and the doctors can treat you as if you were bitten.
Most rabies deaths in the US happen to people who didn't know they were bitten by anything, so the right treatments couldn't be given. Just remember the bat, just in case.

If it was a vampire bat, then no. They have certain chemicals that numb the pain in their bite, just like Mosquitos. But if it wasn't a vampire bat, then you'd definately be able to feel it.

You would have most likely felt it, but look for small pin sized marks or small scratches. I would probably not worry about it, but if its a big concern, see a docter.

You would feel a bat biting you ... not just from its teeth, but from its method of ingestion (feeding mechanism)

It's not a mosquito - it has big enough teeth that you would almost certainly feel it.
