Biolac Flying Fox Formula is a complete milk replacer specially formulated for orphaned and rescued flying foxes and bats. Based on extensive research of grey headed flying foxes, this concentrated formula provides essential nutrients for healthy growth and development from birth through weaning.

Biolac Flying Fox Milk is a complete milk replacer formulated for infant flying foxes and bats. It provides essential nutrients for healthy bone development and growth through fully digestible carbohydrates, proteins and lipids, along with an enhanced vitamin and mineral profile. Flying Fox Milk is used for standard rearing of older, robust pups through to weaning onto fruit.

Suitable for flying foxes and megabats (healthy infants) and microbats (stable young pups). For very young pups, compromised animals, or any flying fox new to care, use Biolac Flying Fox Plus, which contains added GOS for gut health support. Unlike marsupials, flying foxes use a single formula throughout their milk-dependent life with no need to transition between stages.

Detailed Product Information

Flying Fox Feeding Guide

Biolac Flying Fox Milk is concentrated. Mix 14g powder made up to 70mL water. Feed 20-25% of body weight daily, divided into 4-5 feeds depending on age and development. The milk-dependent period runs from rescue through to weaning at around 11–12 weeks. Volumes below are a guide based on age — always feed to the pup’s appetite and condition, and never force-feed.

Do not overfeed. This is a concentrated formula. A 100g pup should take around 25mL per day, not per feed. For arrival feeds, transition 50:50 milk/water for the first feed, 75:25 for the second, then full strength from the third feed onward.
