Ace escaped!

Luckily Bek has teeth, so I squeezed worm guts and fed them to her. She refused to open her mouth, but once I force a lttle food in with a toothpick she lapped it up pretty fast.

She is really stressed and crawling everywhere. I can't leave her in the flight cage because I fear she'll crawl out of the box and fall. She is back in the tent and seems to be happier, but she's still looking for mum.

Guess who has been promoted from Food Providor to Flight Training and Foraging.

Well, I probably can't help much, but I wish you and Bek the best of luck... Hope Bek's not too traumatized by the incident. Good Luck to you two again, hope it turns out well!

Ack!! Good luck!

I'm sorry, I just flashed on you in a WWI leather flying helmet, goggles and long, flowing silk scarf, striking a dashing pose, with little Bek on your shoulder in a similar pose, both defying the odds and meeting adversity head on, theme music welling in the background and banners flying as you take up the challenges of the day!

Seriously, I hope things go well. I can't even begin to imagine how difficult its going to be to try and train Bek to fend for herself. Prayers and good thoughts on the way.

Eeek! I'm glad Bek is feeding... I wish you the best of luck; take good notes, you're pioneering baby bat care and rescue, IIRC nobody else has dealt with a situation like that before. You may end up with a small bat-friend for a while.

Okay, this might be a dumb question, so fogrive me if it is.
Won't Ace want to come back to her baby? Don't bats have like a homing instanct for their children? Or is she gone for good?

Anyway I hope whatever happens it turns out all right. I don't think Bek could be in better hands for this kind of situation. Give her my wishes :P
