Wildlife carers at a bat hospital in Queensland, Australia are struggling to find enough fruit to feed them and urgently need extra people who could help feed the creatures who need nourishment every four hours.
'We have so many baby bats on our hands that we've hardly got enough food to go around,' said carer Trish Wimberley.
The bat hospital, part of Wildcare Australia, has been inundated with around 300 grey-headed flying foxes, after Queensland's Gold Coast was pummelled by fierce winds and rain last week, forcing bat mothers to fly away for their own safety and leaving their young to fall to the ground.

Thanks for sharing this, Slavenka. I hadn't read about it. I'm thousands of miles away from there, otherwise I would race in and help, because I love these creatures. We have them in our area too.
