Just like human babies, some batties savour their bottles whilst others are guzzlers.
Master Lance falls into the later category and clearly enjoys feed times.
Flying-fox orphans are aged by their forearm length and we gauge their weight using a chart based on forearm length.
From this chart we can calculate the amount of milk required by each orphan on a daily basis.
By 11 weeks of age our orphans are fully weaned and they are feeding exclusively on fruit, leaves, pollen and nectar.
