baby microbat


Sorry its been so long since we posted. Any one might think we have nothing to write about - far from it. We have been really busy which unfortunately means we are getting lots of sick, injured and orphaned wildlife brought in. Heres is a little orphaned microbat. His mum dropped hm. If you look carefully you can see the bruise on his head where he landed on the ground. He seems a little concussed but otherwise ok. He is now being handraised by a carer and hopefully if all goes well he'll be able to be returned to the wild. Its hard to tell which particular species he is at the moment since there is not much of him but as he grows we should be able to id him. At the moment he is on milk but as he grows he will need to learn how to catch insects in the air.
