Rescuing a baby flying-fox; this is Strawberry Daiquiri

Baby season has struck with a vengeance; 11 babies came into care in Sydney on the day I rescued little Daiquiri.

Strawberry Daiquiri is a 2 week old Grey-Headed Flying-Fox pup, who was found on her dead mother on the side of the road by some builders. I don't know if the mum was electrocuted but she had no evidence of burns on her, neither does her baby. Often, if the baby has suffered an electric shock whilst on mumbat, they have a sore mouth (if they were suckling), or burns on their extremities: wingtips or thumbs or toes, anywhere which might have been in contact with mumbat's skin and not insulated by mum's fur.
The usual pattern is that the baby looks fine, until rehydration kicks in, when the blisters or swellings start to appear. (if you've ever been badly sunburned, you will know that you're mostly fine until the evening then the red skin and blisters come up).

Our Daiquiri is a bit of an independent girlie; she likes to get out of her wraps and doesn't soil the teddy she's on, only the ones outside her wraps. She started off feeding really well, but then she got overconfident, and guzzled, then snorted the milk out her nose which set up a pattern of uncoordinated sucking and swallowing; I feed her first and last so she only has short bursts of feeding and doesn't get tired.

Tolga Bat Hospital takes donations for me. Tolga is an awesome place in Far North Queensland, which has charity status. By sending donations to them, they get a percentage (and deserve every cent) and they can allocate money to me for batty expenses without it becoming part of my income stream (which makes tax time difficult).

Mention Megabattie or Meg in the PayPal message box and the money will find its way to me.
If no message box appears, please email Jenny to tell her that the money is for me.
IMPORTANT: If you pay through the PayPal Giving Fund, can you please email Jenny with the AMOUNT DONATED and the name under which you have donated, OR just forward along the PP receipt.
The Giving Fund doesn’t charge any fees (so the bats get more money) but PP doesn’t itemise out the amount, they just send a total every month, and we don’t know if the money is for Tolga or for Megabattie.
Here’s Jenny’s email.
