Little brown bats undergo a prolonged period of hibernation during the winter due to the lack of food. They mate in the autumn, and the infant is conceived in spring. When they arise in the spring, the females go to nursery colonies which may often be the same place where they were born. These nursery colonies consist mainly of adult females and their young and can be located in the attics of warm buildings where there is high humidity. These colonies sometimes reach numbers of bats as great as 1,000 per colony. Gestation is 50–60 days. They usually have one baby per female each year, born sometime from late May to early July.
The number of males in the nursery increases in September, and in October. They use the same hibernaculum and summer colonies year after year, except for yearling males going to the male summer colony upon reaching adulthood. While the females are at the nursing colonies during the summer, males roost in small groups in rock crevices or tree hollows.
