Juvenile flying-fox first night in care: this is Toof

Little Toof came into my care today when he was rescued by the rescue van driver who needed a destination for the little guy. He's a 14 week old Grey-Headed Flying-Fox who has smacked his head and knocked himself silly. He's worryingly quiet, and tonight he passed about 7 large worms; I always worry when they start passing worms; I worry that the worms are decamping a sinking ship (abandoning a dying batty). I don't know if he is going to be alive in the morning but I've given him strict instructions for no more worms, more pee, and brighter more alert eyes with sparkles, but no spinning stars. He did seem to manage the honey cubes quite well, which is hopeful. Let's see what the morning brings. His name Toof is that of a woodland sprite, and it just kind of suited him; I hope it encourages him to be mischievous and magical. Tolga Bat Hospital takes donations for our batties. 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). https://tolgabathospital.org/donate/ 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. [email protected]
