Nyxi part 8: a Grey Headed Flying-Fox pup in care

Little Nyxi is a Grey-Headed Flying-Fox who is, by the charts, about 8 weeks old but I have my suspicions that she's a tall girl who is younger than she appears, from her behaviour and physical development.
She was noticed in a garden hanging off a verandah, and the rescue called in. It was possible that she could have been reunited with her mother however the homeowner was going away and couldn't provide access to see if mumbat would come and take her back, so this delightful little missy came into care.
Out of season babies are always a pleasure; there is not the stress of the many rescues and the many babies and feeds which take hours, but just the relaxed pleasure of one baby's care.
And Nyxi is a true delight and a simple baby at this stage, though she knows that it's not meant to be like this, and given that she has been with her true batmum for 6-8 weeks, her entire life, and has known life with a single mum devoted to her 24/7, plus the sounds and rhythms of life in a batty colony, this is a vast change for her.
As time drags on, she's more hesitant, more needy and increasingly unsure of herself as the chance of returning to her mumbat slowly fades away in her mind; she's devastated and has transferred her entire love, life and neediness to the human who is caring for her and is becoming clingy and desperate.
I've been looking for a buddy for her but there are no other babies her age in care at the moment in Sydney, so she'll be sent to the Shoalhaven for overwintering and batty company until a spring release.

Nyxi? I'm on a faerie theme at the moment, and nixies are water fairies; but Nyx is the goddess of the night, so I've mashed the spellings together (as I do) to give her an individual name.

Tolga Bat Hospital takes donations for our batties. 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.
