Top Tip On How To Brush A Cute Baby Bat - Meet Cotton Top After Her Lovely Warm Bath

Cotton Top is a cute baby bat, a grey-headed flying fox. Rescued as an orphan, Cotton Top is now looked after by her new mum, Mandi.

Flying fox moms constantly groom their young pups, like a cat does her kittens. So when in care, baby bats need to have that constant reassurance like a mom.

Mandi uses this great technique of using a wire bottle brush cleaner to brush her babies.
And boy, do they LOVE it!

MORE ABOUT MANDI

Mandi has been a licensed bat carer for nearly 30 years. She lives in Southeast Queensland and cares for bats from her personal funds and any donations she may receive.

She looks after baby bats, orphaned bats, injured bats, and even geriatric bats who are allowed to live out their days in the blissful batty comfort of her loving care.

Being an individual carer and not a member of a Not-For-Profit wildlife organization, she does not receive any form of government financial support or grant monies.

FUNDRAISING FOR MANDI'S BATS

This video is part of my fundraising initiative to help Mandi feed her bats, maintain and improve her aviaries.

So, if you would like to donate to Mandi's bats, then use a PayPal account to send a donation:

All these funds are donated to Mandi for bats in her care. THANK YOU! ;-)

MORE ABOUT AUSTRALIAN FLYING FOXES:

Despite the 'bad press' flying foxes have had (not helped by Hollywood and images of terrifying blood-sucking bats!), they are adorable sentient creatures and the most amazing flying mammals.

In fact, they are the largest flying Australian mammal and the only mammal in Australia that is the closest genetically to humans - go figure!

Maybe we were meant to fly but flying foxes beat us to it!
