Fritter is a juvenile, pre-flight western broadnosed bat. He'd fallen from his roost and was found by a fisherman. Fritter was hanging onto a bridge pylon about 10cm above the river. A hungry murray cod was circling below. Another few hours and Fritter would have been fish food. He was very thin and thirsty when I got him, so a quick feed of Biolact was in order.
My first bat for some time!
Right now he is in a recovery tent, hanging between strips of cloth.
I Can't Believe It's Not Echidna Milk doubling as I Can't Believe It's Not Bat Milk

Fritter, well fed and slightly happier.

Go Fritter!
