Baby bats running amok

Microbats give birth around the same time as flying-foxes and as a result, we rescue many micro pups each year.
Rachael has been looking after this bunch of babies and she feeds them every couple of hours on a special blended mix especially formulated for micro babies.
The odd batty out is the large black microbat which is a Gould's Wattled bat and she will be released back to the wild now that our stormy weather has settled.
Although they perform different duties in nature both are equally as important.
Microbats consume tonnes of insect pests each evening and flying-foxes are Australia's only nocturnal, long distance pollinators and seed dispersers of native forests.

Had a microbat pet. Flew into my father's office, and couldn't get out. He took it home in a matchbox. The bat was scared at first. I remember tying to touch it with a pencil and it bit it. But short time later it got used to us. Being so small, it appeared to be as intelligent as a dog. It recognized people. Had individual greeting routines for each guest. It would attack strangers to protect the family. It ate flies and loved chocolate. Stayed with us voluntarily and simply didn't want to leave.

“The baby bat
Screamed out in fright,
'Turn on the dark,
I'm afraid of the light.”
