It's a brand new year and a brand new experience for Master Lance as he tastes his very first bat lollie. Bat lollies are small pieces of peeled, well steamed apple and we use them as an introductory fruit to kick start the weaning process. Master Lance has taken to his steamed apple like a duck to water and over the coming weeks, his fruit ration will be steadily increased and his milk feeds will be gradually withdrawn until he is fully weaned by 11 weeks of age. Any flying-fox by itself though

Although we work very hard broadcasting the 'no touch, no risk' message, members of the public still try and conduct their own rescues. If a member of the public is bitten or scratched, the bat must die and it's brain is sent for testing for Australian Bat Lyssavirus. There is no wiggle room here as the last thing we want is for another human to die from a full preventable virus that has tragically killed three Australians, including a child. However, even if a human is bitten by a positive bat

A baby bat cannot live by milk alone and by the age of 6 to 7 weeks we begin the weaning process by introducing 'bat lollies'. Bat lollies are small cubes of well steamed, peeled apple and they are readily accepted as the first step towards independence and weaning. Although not fully weaned until around the 12 week mark, we gradually increase not only the size of the fruit offered but we also steam less and include the skin as time progresses. By 12 weeks we aim to have our orphans holding larg
