Cute Baby Bat Has A Bath In A Little Bath Tub - Meet Cotton Top, a 5 week old Orphan Flying Fox

Meet adorable Cotton Top, only 5 weeks old. Rescued baby bats have to be consistently cleaned when in care so they don't get infections on their skin. In the wild, a momma bat would be licking and grooming her baby all the time, almost like a cat does.

So when Cotton Top has got herself particularly messy, Mandi steps in to give her a bath. And the little darling seems to love it. Pure bath time bliss, at 'Mandi's Day Spa... SO CUTE!

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.

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!
