First night in care for the twin flying-foxes: Velcro and Klingon

Somehow I forgot to upload this video in sequence. This was Velcro and Klingon on their first night in care.

Velcro and Klingon are Grey-Headed Flying-Fox twins who came into care when their mum hit her head and knocked herself silly.
Mum Riki is in care and doing well but is unable to care for her babies so they've been removed till she is well enough to take them back.
Riki is improving so we're hoping the reunion can occur in a few days.

Velcro is very young but doing amazingly well.
Klingon is doing well and growing on schedule.
Twins aren't common in rescues. We don't know how common twin births are in the wild. We do occasionally see mums with a baby under each wing in the early part of the season, but they can't fly with growing babies who will weigh up to half their bodyweight by the time the babies are thermoregulating and able to be left in the colony overnight.
Generally the weaker twin drops off leaving mum with a single baby she can manage to raise.
I often wonder if some of the scrawny babies we find on the ground in the absence of a dead or injured mum bat around, are the weaker of twins who have dropped off.

UPDATE 5 days later:
The twins' mum Riki was improving enough that her twins were reunited with her. Sometimes this is a tricky process where the baby may not want mum or the mum may not want her baby back, but Riki just took the twins back and the babies went straight onto her like they'd only been away a few minutes.

Further Update: Mum Riki didn't seem to be able to manage and feed both her babies and after about a week a decision was made to take the smaller and more vulnerable twin, Velcro, and hand raise her.
Riki is now coping with Klingon well and her head injury is slowly improving. In care, Velcro is gaining weight and growing and thriving.

Another happy ending though not the ending for which we were hoping.
