Rescuing Twiglet: a flying-fox pup found on the ground

Twiglet is a female Grey-Headed Flying-Fox pup who was found in a suburban backyard, possibly attacked by a cat (but I couldn't find any punctures on her). She is a very scrawny full term newborn, complete with her umbilical cord which is about 12 hours old, so she was born during the previous night and was either too weak to hang onto her mum, or her mum wasn't able to feed her so dropped her and didn't try to retrieve her. So few bats have been surviving, that I was surprised when she was so alert and active and happy to suckle the colostrum supplement within hours. She also has the most gorgeous little blonde cap on her head. It's early days, early hours into her care; the true picture of how she is will become obvious once the adrenaline of her birth subsides and any injuries she may have become unmasked. But in the meantime, KOKO sweetheart. 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. jenny@tolgabathospital.org
