Rare baby grey fruit bat

We found this 11 day old baby fruit bat this morning. She must have fallen from her mother during the night. The next door neighbours cat was stalking her so it was lucky we saw her when we did. A wildlife carer took her for the day and came back tonight to try and reunite her with her mother. Although the mother was flying back and forth overhead she wouldn't come low enough to collect her baby unfortunately. She might try again tomorrow night otherwise she'll be hand raised with other baby fruit bats. Very cute!!

@BlackPookie The wildlife carer raised the baby with other baby bats, the carer does this work for free with other bat lovers in the area so im sure it is doing well, thanks for commenting!

any news? Did the mother eventually reunite with her baby?

[Roova7]

@kennyalancramer unfortunately not, the mother swooped by several times but it must of been to akward for her to land,the wildlife carer is raising her with some other baby bats. Its a shame but im confident she will be taken care off!
