Скачать или смотреть Rescuing a flying-fox pup on the ground: this is Hickory Dickory

Hickory Dickory Dock is an orphan male Grey-Headed Flying-Fox who was found in a backyard crawling around the grass and crying. The Member of Public (MOP) then noticed the mother bat in her yard; she thought the baby was a bird, and she freaked out when she realised it was a bat. She phoned for help, and stood behind her window while I rescued the little one and disposed of the mum's body. Mumbat had electrical burns, so I am on the watch out for burns in the little one. (fortunately none have showed up in a week)
I called him Hickory Dickory, because I could. The name came to me, in an afflatus, and it suits him.
I love survivors and this little guy is so ridiculously cute.

He has gone to his carer now, where he will be till creche.
When the hand raised babies are 3 months old, they go into a creche, where they join other orphans and form a group. At this stage they'd be separating from this batty mums and be becoming more independent in the colony. In creche, at this age, they learn batty etiquette and how to live in a batty society. They shrug off their human mums and want to be with the other batties. When they are emotionally and physically ready, and uninjured, and around 4-5 months old, they’re put into a release cage under a colony and they can integrate into the colony and fly out with the wild bats. If they can’t find enough food, they can always come back to the cage for a feed. Support feeding is put up on the outside of the cage for as long as they are coming back and eating it. When the colony flies out for winter, they have fully integrated and fly out with them.
