Yesterday, I watched a show on Animal Planet in which they were showing a type of bat called flying bat which lives only on fruits.
I referred a dictionary but I am not happy with the word herbivore. Herbivore eats leaves, vegetables, fruits or all food item which are not meat. The only word that I can think is fruit-eating animals. But I think like Herbivore, and carnivore there should be word for fruit eating animals.
Any help will be appreciated.

NOTE: First of all, it is called a Flying fox and not a Flying bat.
A Fruit-eating animal is readily understood. So it will make more sense than any other esoteric terms. But, if you prefer, then there are a couple of proper words to suit your need.
An animal who subsists mainly on fruits is called a frugivorous animal.
Frugivore is from the Latin frugi-, stem of frux "fruit, produce" + vorare "devour, swallow".
Oxford Dictionary on Frugivore (noun):
(Zoology) An animal that feeds on fruit.
Collins Dictionary also defines the word called Fructivorous. It is an adjective form of fructivore.
fruit-eating; frugivorous
Another, difficult and rare, word is
Carpophagous (adj.)
The Oxford Dictionary defines it as
feeding on fruits
