24.01.2022 Happy national Kangaroo day. Today why don’t you go for a walk through the bush and see what type of kangaroos you find. #nationalkangarooday

24.01.2022 Today we said goodbye to Ringo as he takes his next steps to being a bit Kangaroo. Now at his forever home

24.01.2022 Monday night I got a phone call about a young Joey, mum had just been hit by a car and this little one got thrown out and was laying on the road. The lovely father and daughter scooped her up and took her home (which is when they rang me). They did a fantastic job keeping her warm and quiet until they got her to me, thank you. This little Joey is a western grey kangaroo which is our most common kangaroo in the Barossa. She has been named after her sweet rescuer Sage, she has ...fitted in well with our two Eastern grey joeys. Welcome the Where the Native Things Are Sage If you find any wildlife in need please contact 0488 214 301

22.01.2022 I think it’s time you met some of Where the Native Things Are ambassadors. This is Nagini the Bredli Python (Morelia Bredli) although Nagini is only a yearling he loves to come out and help teach the public about Australia’s native pythons and help break the stigma over pythons being something people fear. Nagini is one of the most gentle pythons you could ever meet, he is always up for an adventure and loves smelling new things.... Nagini is nowhere near full grown yet, he still has a long way to go and is expected to reach 2-3meters in length Bredli pythons are most commonly found right in the centre of The Australian outback where their red colour helps them blend in with the red dirt making it hard for predators to find giving them a higher survival rate. WTNTA is permitted to buy, keep and sell captive bred native animals such as pythons under the Department of environment and water: Fauna permits unit

21.01.2022 Here’s an update on the littles. Sage WG, Tilly EG and Darcy EG have all reached the 3kg mark. They are growing fast and eating more solids. Their absolute favourite thing to eat is wooly bush. The littles are spending more and more time out of the pouch especially with the lovely warm weather we have been having. Sage and Tilly have mastered laying down like big kangaroos but Darcy still hasn’t figured it out instead she will just stand on top of them.

20.01.2022 The littles absolutely love their wooly bush. Isn’t Tilly just the cutest, using her little hands

17.01.2022 Fresh bedding and more wooly bush

14.01.2022 The littles aren’t so little anymore. All three of our little grey girls are starting to get ready to transition to their new home in a weeks time. These three are trouble makers who love being outside regardless if I am around as long as they have each other. Here’s a photo to show just how big the are getting.... Darcy (EG) getting a nose like from Sage (WG) See more

12.01.2022 Merry Christmas and a happy new year from all of us to all of yours. With the wild ride 2020 brought it is time for everyone to sit back, relax and enjoy some family time. Where the Native Things Are is still available for rescues over the Christmas holidays,... If you come across any injured or orphaned wildlife please don’t hesitate to call: 0488 214 301 *Disclaimer* No lights were sucked or chewed during photos and all animals were relaxed and calm

11.01.2022 Tis the season Just over the last couple of days I have had 3 fledglings come in two magpies and a magpie lark, all are doing really well. If you come across a baby bird that has feathers but is just sitting on the the ground not able to fly chances are it is a fledgling and mum and dad will be hanging around so please leave them there UNLESS they are in danger.... When in doubt call your local vet or wildlife carer and they will be able to give you advice on what to do next Where the Native Things Are: 0488214301

11.01.2022 A couple of nights ago I had a mumma ringtail possum and her two babies come into care. They were found in the middle of the road, mum was bleeding a bit and allowed a MOP (member of the public) to scoop her up and get her to safety. After a few days in care and close monitoring mum has made a quick recovery and both babies are doing really well. ... Hopefully depending on the weather they can go back home tomorrow night See more

10.01.2022 Are you looking for a group to donate to this Christmas?? Why not donate to a wildlife group. Most independent wildlife carer such as myself get no funding or financial support which means everything from feed and water to vet bills all gets paid from our own pockets. We all are very much appreciative when we receive donations whether it be a small money donation or the donation of milk replacements or bags of feed every small amount gets put towards big things.... So this year why not donate to Where the Native Things Are, Money donations can be made to https://www.gofundme.com/f/q8ndf-where-the-native-things-ar Physical donations can be dropped off just message us for the location or ideas on what to donate

06.01.2022 **CALL OUT** With spring in full force and more rescues coming in we are on the look out for some extra bits and pieces. Do you or anyone you know have any of the following that they would be willing to donate,... -porta cot -large bird cage -rainwater tank (preferably already cut down) See more

06.01.2022 Last Friday night I got called out to an echidna who was in the wrong place at the wrong time and sort shelter behind the back wheel of a car luckily he was spotted. Not sure if he was safe and healthy a lovely lady scooped him up and and took to Facebook for advice. I went out late that night to go and pick him up. After examining him he was in perfect health, only had a few broken quills which will grow back in no time. The next morning with the help of my partner we deticked him and sent him on his way.

05.01.2022 Would you just look at that sweet little face. This little lady is one of the three Ringtail possums currently in care

02.01.2022 **CALL OUT** Does anyone have any baby sleep sacks/sleeping bags that they are no longer using?? We have discovered how perfect they are for the kangaroo joeys in care.... Happy to come pick them up or for them to be dropped/mailed off (post SA lockdown)

02.01.2022 The basket is back in use, what ever could that mean?? Stay tuned to see who might be warm and cosy in the basket. Any guesses??
