Toof part 11: in which he goes to the release aviary

Little Toof came into my care when he was rescued by the rescue van driver who needed a destination for the little guy. He was a 14 week old Grey-Headed Flying-Fox who had smacked his head, knocked himself silly, and had weak legs. Over the next few days he became more interactive; his eyes, a little more alert, and took in some juice and smoothie, but still not self feeding. I took him for an X-Ray, on day 4, and we found nothing which would explain his leg weakness; he continued to slowly and incrementally improve. By days 6-8 he became slightly more interactive and able to hang for a while, and showing an interest in self feeding (but no real skill). I also noticed him grooming, also without skill or real commitment. He went to an indoor aviary for a few days and started to self feed with gusto; it always helps to have buddies for company, confidence and as role models to show him how everything works when in care. After 2 days with the other batties, he was gaining weight and headed out to the creche aviary to be with other juveniles his age, and to be outside with the sounds of the bush, the smells and the local wildlife, in a more natural environment for him. I had the pleasure of driving him out there when the carer's car had a flat battery. I won't say he's hanging and moving around brilliantly, but after 2 weeks in care at this stage his improvement is impressive. From half dead when he arrived in my care, to self feeding in 11 days is quite a feat, given the level of his head injury, and I think it will probably progress to a release in about a month when these creche kiddies are transferred to the release cage under the colony in Centennial Park. His name, Toof, is that of a woodland sprite, and it just kind of suited him; I hoped it would encourage him to be mischievous and magical, and it seems to be working. 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
