Adopt a Bat:

Meet Bootsana, the baby fruitbat:
"It was time to give this special girl a name. As luck would have it, an internet search of African names brought us “Busana - Girl of the Night Moon”. Because of her special circumstances we decided on a slight variation, ‘Bootsana’. For the first 10 weeks of her life Bootsana carried a soft puppy nurser (her pacifier) in her mouth all the time and yelled whenever she dropped it. She continued to yell - almost brat-like - until someone placed it back into her mouth. At around 10 weeks of age she decided banana was better than a nurser, so solid food (which she also yelled for) was slowly introduced. Every day Bootsana was also given flapping exercises, as much as she enjoyed."
