    My dear friend Meg, so heart-rending
    and tearful. But you gave them great care so they were safe and warm. Heartbreaking but at least they knew care before they passed.

      Realistically I didn't expect Lizzie to survive, however I was hopeful for Buck, until I took him off his mum and he wasn't particularly active or grabby or crying for his mum.

      I don't think anyone would call Meg sweet if they actually knew me; I can be kind and caring, however I'm also acerbic, blunt and straightforward which doesn't equate to sweet.
      And I don't always observe social niceties; I assume the person knows I mean well, but I don't say please and thank you all the time (it gets in the way in rescue situations), and I don't pander to vets, but treat them as equals, so sometimes I offend them because I don't worship them enough (I just think of them as people with the same interest in the animal and a different or expanded skillset from mine).
      I find the vets I work with are refreshingly human and who take me at face value, for who I am; it works for us and I consider 3 of the vets my very good and personal friends. (I doubt they'd call me sweet either).

    Poor lil ones. I wonder if she gave up knowing if her pup was gonna make it, itd be in your hands. Those eye movement and shaking, yeah, IC pressure's screwy w/vestibular damage or shes ingested a bad toxin. My guess, smack in to the wall, topple down into cement, baby injured in fall onto cement. Just from the weird layout of that building. I could see her sailing in, hard smack, topple down, hit baby. But those spasms may also be poison ingestion affecting the nervous system. Which could also affect the baby in the milk. Without a scan and bloodtest impossible to tell.
    Do you ever get necropsy on cases like this?

Baby Buck was squidgy from the start though - not particularly active or vocal; I wonder how long they had been there; I don't think the guy had properly moved in or was actually living there

    I've seen enough of these to know what the jerking movement and lack of octo-pup mean, and even knowing, it hurts to watch them go. I can't imagine what it's like for you, with so many rescues having the same outcome, but I keep watching because in spite of that you still give them every possible chance. I know, you have to, but it takes strength to carry on with so much death. I'm sorry it's not getting much better, but it will. Hang in there, Meg. RIP, Lizzie and little Buck.

    She's so feisty, even when she's a addled as she is from that hit. I don't think I've seen the chronic spasms before; they look like it makes it trickier to discern whether she's aiming to get you or just glitching. Luckily it looks like the Megabattie's honed reflexes are too quick to fall for her unintentionally feints.
    Does getting thumb-boxed hurt, or is it more of a startling sensation of contact, like getting slapped by a cat?

    • @Megabattie
      @Megabattie  10 วันที่ผ่านมา +2

      I don't know why she ended up on the ground to begin with; I know that flying low in an area with multiple roof levels leads to entrapment; I don't know how much she struggled to get out, or how long she was in the courtyard; trying to escape multiple times though leads to concussion.
      There is often a stress myopathy involved as well, and lack of fluids and continual struggles to get out lead to the myopathy which affects heart and kidneys.
      THere is some speculation that bats, if captured (like by a raptor or a snake) die really quickly so they don't need a mechanism to help them survive capture myopathy because they're dead before they even get the myopathy.

      Being a bat rescuer isn't about dabbling and doing the occasional rescue; it requires time, commitment and overthrowing your entire life and home to accommodate the ungrateful little darlings.
      It costs money, it sucks up your life, and it demands more than you're willing to give.
      Younger people have careers, can't afford to buy a home; they have partners and children and live in rental housing, which isn't friendly to pets let alone bats. They are time poor, money poor and not in the right position to do this, so it requires an older person who is still spry, financially stable, with a vehicle and nothing better to do with their lives. The Princess who was very heavily into the flying-foxes has had 2 wingless pups (her own personal human kids), and doesn't have the time or money to do this no matter how much she wants to.
      If I'm to mentor someone it has to be someone with whom I can work, who is in a position to do this. There isn't anyone; people come and go but bat rescue is hard work and not for everyone.
      Since I started 17 and a half years ago, there have been 2 women who lasted more than a year, one of whom has been doing it for about 13 years now but more intermittently than year round, plus another one who was mainly into rescue and microbats, but she's just had a baby and is out for the duration.
      Occasional people last a year or so and drift away.
      If you live in an apartment and don't have space for hanging bats, and don't have a cooperative landlord, it's nearly impossible to care for bats, (apart from babies), so you HAVE to form a relationship with someone who has facilities who is prepared to take the bats you rescue. I can't have adults here other than overnight, but I do have a relationship with 2 people who will take my adults.
      And you have to get along with the people to whom you're delivering your rescues; you have to respect them and vice versa.
      If all the stars align, I might get a new person every 8 years; I'm about due for one soon.
      And I intend to spend another 10 years at least doing this, and after that I'll see how close I am to my use-by date or past my best-by date.

      @ I’m a Dog Rescuer and have 6 disabled dogs at home iv had dozens off dogs through my door and have adopted lots off dogs with issues wether it be health or behaviour sadly some have only lived one year and only been young dogs off 2-3years old I am constantly grieving I have 10 little urns off dogs that have passed away since 2014 and I have another 6 at home to go through it with my health has taken a dive too, Rescuing takes over our entire life physically, mentally, financially and especially mental health people get upset with me for sharing posts about a little skinny neglected dog if only they realy knew what goes on the stuff I’m sent by private message stuff I cannot post about, iv helped Rehome hundreds off dogs aswell as take in all the broken dogs nobody wants, what annoys me is they beg us to save that dog and do something about it’s situation yet won’t help us with donations etc they don’t understand we cannot rehome an unhealthy dog we can spend hundreds or thousands making that dog well again and the mouths off utter cheek we get when we ask for an adoption fee off say £250 and that goes to help the next dog in need, I feel your pain from here I get you and I hear you loud and clear..❤️🙏There’s no loyalty and commitment this day and age and it’s soul destroying..Your Wonderfull and an Amazing lady 🙏❤️🙂

      Rescue is not for everyone; me putting up the videos for scrutiny probably makes it worse if the viewers don't like the outcome; it's always my fault that an animal dies if they think they could have done it better.
      If people don't understand what my passion is, I don't need that person in my life dragging me down.
      Someone yesterday asked why my facility is so messy; simple reason - it's messy because there's too much batty stuff and there is nowhere to store it away, so it's all out and around.
      And I don't have a "facility", I have my home in which I've learned to live in clutter because there's no room for me and the batties and their things.

      Yes, but the bird would be able to hop to the wall and use it as a launching pad; they can launch almost vertically...

      @Megabattie  10 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I'd say it was spasticity; a heightened state of muscle reflex hyper-excitability that can cause sudden muscle twitching, tightening, or stiffening. Spasticity is common after a severe traumatic brain injury.
      It can also be from low blood sugar, which is why we give them the glucose at rescue.

      It was a horrible dry tickle which just grabbed me during the rescue; it sorted itself out with some water.
      I've been haunted with allergies forever, but the tickle in the throat thing is only occasional.

    The way you rescued this mum was so tender. Can I ask a stupid question please; is there an evolutionary reason for their dimpled noses?

    • @Megabattie
      @Megabattie  9 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      I always thought there were no stupid questions, just unasked questions, however some of my viewers do actually ask incredibly stupid questions so I no longer use that saying.
      Your question isn't stupid; it's a good question.
      Their noses have divided nostrils for several reasons; one is that they get stereo-olfaction - which means the nostrils are canted to the sides (the holes are on the side), and they can directionally search out blossom and nectar from the scent.
      Also, when you eat sloppy rainforest fruits and you're upside down, any juice runs down the channel between your nostrils, not into your nose and lungs.

    • @zotheflow
      @zotheflow 9 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Brilliant, that completely makes sense. Thank you. I thought it would be something to do with feeding or the search for food but every time I watch you I look at their little noses and think to myself there must be a reason for them being the way they are. I continuously find these types of characteristics in animals mind boggling. So simple yet complex all rolled into one… I know it’s par for the course but I’m so sorry you lost mum and I know the little one wasn’t doing so well...

    Out of all the bat videos that I have seen, this is the first one where I actually heard a bat scream. Well, actually make ANY vocal noise. Prior to this video, I thought bats were mute.

    • @Megabattie
      @Megabattie  10 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      Bats are noisy creatures; you haven't watched enough of my videos to notice this.
      THey're very socially gregarious, quite territorial and determined that what they want is what they're going to get, even if they have to yell for an hour to get it.
      Mating is even noisier with a lot of screaming into each others' face.

    • @mikeifyouplease

      @@Megabattie Looks like I have a lot to learn about bats. Your video that I remember the best was the one where you placed the baby on the floor so its
      mom could see it and then flew down to scoop it up and fly away home. And that was also was the time that I learned that bats can actually fly directly
      up from the ground, though it wasn't easy. But I guess you can check that up to the miracles a mom can do when saving her baby!

    • @Megabattie
      @Megabattie  10 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @@mikeifyouplease LOL I don't think that video was one of mine; I have NEVER put a baby on the ground to get mumbat to come and pick it up; flying-foxes can't fly off the ground because they can't stand up, however microbats can and will pick up their babies from a flat surface (different mass to lift ratio).
      I have reunited babies but never microbats, but any baby I reunite is always put up high where mumbat can climb down to get baby to climb on her.
      Try searching in the YT search bar for Megabattie/Crimson/reuniting - that was possibly the one which was most successful and fastest (some take hours). Some big juvies can get off the ground if they've got a long flat area but certainly no bat mum could lift her and a baby off the ground. The babies are about 20% of the size of the mumbat.
