Bat-like flying mammals appears in the Eocene Epoch, some 50 million years ago. Given bat's rather delicate skeletons this evidence is pretty rare. Similarities of bones and teeth lead scientists to bleive that bat's ancestors were probably insect eating placental mammals, possibly living in trees, and likely share their ancestry with shrews and moles. Bats are not rodents or even closely related to that group of mammals.
