    Volunteers urgently needed to care for 300 orphaned baby bats. A desperate call for help is ringing through Queensland’s hinderland after a mass of young bats were abandoned by their mommies. Yes, there are about 300 grey-headed flying foxes desperately needing tender loving care. Come on looners, they are really cute if you can overlook the vampire, blood sucking Dracula thing. Trish Wimberley from  Wildcare Australia and her 60  volunteers are working around the clock to feed and care for the young little pups but are just unable to keep up with the rigorous feeding regiment (every 4 hours). The extremely unusual mass abandonment was due to fierce storms which ravaged the Gold Coast earlier in the week.Many of the young charges were suffering from hypothermia and dehydration when found. Anyone who doesn’t mind caring for a little baby bat please phone Wildcare on (07) 5527 2444.
