Delilah, the flying fox came to the hospital when she was a few days old and only weighed 89 grams! She was found on the ground after her mother may have been electrocuted on power lines. She was very cold and wet, as are a lot of orphans when they are found, and immediately made her way into the heart of our senior koala keeper, Karen. Karen and Delilah have been inseparable for 3 months. She is now flying well, eating mainly fruit rather than milk formula and weighs 365 grams. She is negotiating flight paths around furniture in Karen's house so well that she hardly lets Karen out of her sight. Delilah's next step is to be integrated into a creche of equally energetic youngsters, all needing to learn flying fox etiquette before release. Delilah will leave Karen's care in the next couple of weeks to start this next part of her rehabilitation for release.<3 <3
Just an update: Delilah has left Karen's care to join a creche in the Redland Bay area and be released once she has learnt to be a bat.... :-D
