Making up Milk:
To make 20mL of milk: Add 1 level scoop of powder (6.5g) with 15ml of warm water.
To make 100mL of milk: Add 33g of powder (5 scoops) with 70ml of warm water.
Add half the water to the powder first and mix to a paste. Then add the remaining water and mix thoroughly. Pre-boil the water to ensure that it is sterilised. If the water is too hot it can cause the milk to curdle. If it is too cold then it will be difficult to disperse the powder. Milk can be stored in the fridge for a day or can be frozen for up to two weeks. It is useful to make up milk in larger quantities and store it frozen in small portions (e.g. ice cube trays), so that the required daily feed volumes can be easily thawed out. Once thawed out, discard any unused milk, and wash feeding utensils thoroughly.
See attached Feeding Guide
Pups should be warmed by hand before feeding. Warm milk to about 35°C and feed from an eye dropper or catheter & syringe. Feed every 2 hours for the first 3 days, reducing this to every 3 hours by week one and every 4 hours by week two. Stimulate young pups to defecate and urinate after each feed. To avoid dehydration during periods of hot weather provide drinks of pre-boiled water between feeds. Always offer drinking water once bat pups become mobile. Consult your veterinarian or specialist wildlife carer for particular advice about caring for microbat pups.
