Baby bat plays and feeds: this is Liquorice Allsorts

Liquorice Allsorts is a 5 week old baby Black Flying-Fox who was found hanging alone in some bamboo. He was horribly dehydrated and not terribly well but after a few days he has recovered and regained his mojo. He's gaining weight nicely and behaving normally. It's delightful having one baby at a time. Normally baby season is a frantic race from rescue to rescue and stabilising babies and moving them along. There is no real time to enjoy raising the babies. Liquorice is a very late season baby and doesn't have any buddies down here. He'll be transported north to join other late babies in a few weeks. In the meantime we all get to enjoy him. Morning feed time is a special time - I weigh and measure him every few days, and he gets his wings wiped over, and I groom him with a toothbrush or give him special cuddles and stroking. He gets lots of eye contact and tactile contact during other feeds, but I make a point of it for the morning feed where possible.
