The Rusty Pipistrelle is insectivorous, foraging by slow hawking 3-18 m over dry riverbeds and open water. It flies low and comparatively smoothly.

Rusty Pipistrelles are seasonally monoestrous. Litter size is two (occasionally one); young are born in about mid-November. During development, 1-5 embryos can be present, but only up to two become implanted in uterine walls. One embryo is then found in each uteri; uterus is bicornuate. Reproduction of male and female gametes occurs at completely separate times. Spermatogenesis occurs in summer (October-February), and testes regress by late autumn, storing sperm in epididymides. Mating occurs in autumn (April), and sperm is stored in females’ uteri through winter (April-August) until implantation. Implantation occursin late winter and early spring (September). Unlike most other bat species, amnion is formed by cavitation rather than folding. Births occur in late spring (November) after gestation of ¢.11-12 weeks. There might be some delayed embryonic development.

Rusty Pipistrelles begin to forage at dusk and probably continue throughout the night. They roost in tree crevices, under bark, and in old buildings. They do not enter hibernation or prolonged torpor during winter, remaining active throughout. Call shape is steep FM/QCEF, with high intensity. Single call recorded in Waterberg, north-eastern
