Short answer: You can't feed bats in Minecraft Bedrock. Bats do not eat food, and you cannot tame or breed them.

What bats are:

  • Bats are tiny flying creatures that appear in dark caves and other dark places underground.
  • They are ambient mobs — that means they are just there to make caves feel alive. You can’t make them follow you or be your pet with food.

How to see bats or make them appear near you (step-by-step):

  1. Go underground into caves. Bats usually show up where it is dark.
  2. If you want bats to appear in one place, build a small dark room (turn off torches or block the light). Bats can spawn in dark spots and hang from the ceiling.
  3. Wait quietly — bats will fly around and hang on the ceiling by themselves.

If you want a pet you can feed or tame instead:

  • Parrots: give seeds (like wheat seeds) to tame them. They will sit on your shoulder or follow you.
  • Wolves and cats: can be fed and tamed with meat (wolves) or fish (cats).

Want a pet bat? If you really want a bat as a pet, look for mods or add-ons for Minecraft Bedrock that add tamable bats. Those are not part of normal (vanilla) Minecraft.

If you’d like, I can show you how to make a nice dark bat-room step-by-step in your world so bats will spawn there. Want to try that?
