Baby bat first days in care: Convolvulus Crash, Mary Poppins & Maggie

Maggie feeds and plays with Convo Crash and Mary Poppins.
Both these babies are newly in care, and both are very skinny; neither pup is holding their body temperature well, though Convo should definitely be thermoregulating by now. I chatted with our fave vet Adrian, who suggested they both might have heard injuries which may knock their temperature regulation system out of whack for a while. I thought Convo might have been becoming septic, which can also lower body temperature, but he wasn't sick enough or deteriorating.
Over the last few days with all the skinny babies coming into care, I've come to the conclusion that they're all too skinny to be able to thermoregulate well, and will improve with nutrition and glucose (this seems to be working).
We also have the delights of poo sampling; there's another study being done into antibiotic resistance in the babies who have just come into care, so we're doing the poo specimen thing again; of course, Maggie turns it into a total farce with clamping her legs together (just watch the video) and waving swab sticks around. What would feeding baby batties be without a Maggie to add to the entertainment?
Convo should be going to a carer today to buddy with Fuzzy Navel, and Mary Poppins will be parked with Seamorn until I find her a home.
(Mary Poppins was rescued from the Rotunda near the Mary Poppins Statue in the park; what else could I call her?)
Tolga Bat Hospital takes donations for me. Tolga is an awesome place in Far North Queensland, which has charity status. By sending donations to them, they get a percentage (and deserve every cent) and they can allocate money to me for batty expenses without it becoming part of my income stream (which makes tax time difficult).

Mention Megabattie or Meg in the PayPal message box and the money will find its way to me.
If no message box appears, please email Jenny to tell her that the money is for me.
IMPORTANT: If you pay through the PayPal Giving Fund, can you please email Jenny with the AMOUNT DONATED and the name under which you have donated, OR just forward along the PP receipt.
The Giving Fund doesn’t charge any fees (so the bats get more money) but PP doesn’t itemise out the amount, they just send a total every month, and we don’t know if the money is for Tolga or for Megabattie.
Here’s Jenny’s email.
