FNQ Exotic Haven- Orphaned Spectacled Flying Foxes

Flying Fox pup season is here!!!

Many of you would have seen the heat stress event of 2018 which resulted in over 23,000 deaths, a third of the Spectacled Flying Fox population lost with in a week; followed by the 2019 starvation event where we lost many adult males. Due to this we are expecting many pups to be born prematurely, deformed and or dead. I am hoping we can obtain a humidicrib before the influx of orphans.

$1,310.85 is what we require including postage for a humidicrib. ( https://www.whelpingsupplies.com.au/product/tlc-40-advance )

On top of this we have expected expenses... $300 (10kg) in milk, potentially more is expected to be required, bottles, teats, wraps, fruit and juice (when older) and caging facilities. The expenses could go on and on.

FNQ Exotic Haven is privately run, we don’t get any government support and rely on community and our back pocket.

Please if you can help it would be absolutely amazing and a huge asset to the care and rehabilitation of future orphans.
