Baby bats running amok

To use this video in a commercial player or in broadcasts, please email licensing@ Microbats give birth around the same time as flying-foxes and as a result, we rescue many micro pups each year. Rachael has been looking after this bunch of babies and she feeds them every couple of hours on a special blended mix especially formulated for micro babies. The odd batty out is the large black microbat which is a Gould’s Wattled bat and she will be released back to the wild now that our stormy weather has settled. Although they perform different duties in nature both are equally as important. Microbats consume tonnes of insect pests each evening and flying-foxes are Australia’s only nocturnal, long distance pollinators and seed dispersers of native forests.
