21.01.2022 Hi all, please see attached images. We are now taking orders for teat moulds please print your order form and email it to [email protected] Thank you for your support.
19.01.2022 On Saturday we had the absolute pleasure of having Nicole, Trav and Mel from The Rescue Collective come and see what we do first hand. They were in total awe of the animals we have in care but genuinely shocked with the impact the drought has had and how many animals are in care and the amount of released and wild animals that we are also putting feed out for. Whilst they were only able to visit us here we must acknowledge that the dedicated Carers of our group are almost at full capacity and the generous donations are so truly appreciated by each and everyone of us. Nicole and her dedicated team of caring people are supporting Wildlife Carers and making a huge difference with what the Carers can now provide to the animals. You ROCK!!
19.01.2022 Hello everyone, We are putting up this post to show members of WRSB doing their bit for the wildlife that are not in care. We have set up water pods with dishes and are putting hay and feed out each day. We encourage all members and followers to put out even just a container of water and a dish of food for birds and wildlife even if it’s in your own backyard. ... A special thank you to everyone that donates to WRSB that supports us in doing this
18.01.2022 Attention all Carers and followers, due to the Covid-19 issues affecting normal everyday practices at this time we would like to request that in the interest of everybody’s health that the following be implemented by all of you: If you go on a Rescue please observe the 1.5 metre distance rule between persons. Wear a mask and gloves wherever possible. Ask the person you are picking up the animal from to place the contained animal outside.... Sanitise you’re hands as soon as possible after contact with any surface touched during rescues. Use common sense and listen to all advice being broadcast by the media. We will endeavour to keep the rescue service in place but will only be able to do so with your assistance in observing these safe practices.
18.01.2022 Expression of interest Would anyone be interested in steel teat moulds? Will be $20 per mould, various sizes will be available. We have had a huge amount of interest today in starting moulds. We have decided that we will start off with this design but in steel and add to them over the next week. The lathe was only purchased today and Connor will be working hard over the coming weeks to get the ball rolling and stock available. In the coming week we will also have a order f...orm on our page for you to place your order. Thankyou to everyone for supporting us. See more
17.01.2022 This was written by Leonie, one of our Carers. It brought tears to my eyes and a big catch in my throat, one of the most beautiful and apt things I have ever read. Straight from her heart! I'm not a poet so bear with me. My soft furred joeys make my heart swell with pride.... Life has already been tough on you so I'll promise to protect you as if you are mine. For some of you it's beautiful to watch you grow and be free, But for others, I don't know what happens and suddenly your not there. Those big innocent eyes have become a fixed stare. I try so hard to learn all there is to know. I never seem to get enough knowledge before it's time for you to go. I love you all so much, the pain is hard to bear. Why do you need to leave, why did god summon you there. Off to heaven you go sweet joey of mine and know when I visit heaven we can walk side by side. To all those I've lost , I love you.

01.01.2022 Please DO NOT GIVE WATER TO KOALAS BY POURING WATER FROM BOTTLES INTO THEIR MOUTHS. PLACE A BOWL OF WATER ON THE GROUND OR POUR THE WATER IN TO YOUR HAT/HELMET/...CUP ETC AND HOLD NEAR KOALAS MOUTH SO THAT IT CAN LAP AT IT With all the facebook posts about wonderful people caring for wildlife amidst the fire and heat disasters over these past weeks a silent tragedy is happening. Koala's are DYING because people are trying their best to help but don't understand how a koala actually drinks. The little Koala seen in the middle picture is Arnie. He comes from a little town north of Bairnsdale. Arnie survived the heat wave AND fires with only minor burns to his feet and hands. His burns were healing. He survived losing his mum and the loss of his home. He was found by some very caring people who did what any human would do when they find a distressed animal, and offered him a drink from their bottle of water. They were just trying to help. They didn’t know that it is dangerous for Koala’s to drink this way. They didn’t know that Koala’s usually get most of their water via the gum leaves that they eat and they don’t often drink water, but when they do, they are face down and lapping small amounts with their tongue. They didn’t know that when a Koala holds it head up and takes in too much water, it can easily get in to their lungs and cause Aspiration Pneumonia, which is usually fatal. This is exactly what happened to little Arnie. Despite a mammoth rescue effort involving all three emergency services and wildlife rescuers he died more specifically he drowned. It was heartbreaking for everyone involved. That is why we want to share this post. So people can help in the best way possible. If you find a Koala in need of help in the heat or in a fire zone, please DO NOT OFFER IT WATER BY TIPPINY IT FROM A BOTTLE OR CUP INTO THEIR MOUTHS AND NEVER FORCE A KOALA TO DRINK. IF it is safe to do so then catch it in a blanket and transport to the nearest shelter, otherwise take note of its location and let someone know the details. Please note that Koalas can cause nasty injuries so if the Koala is resisting do not try and pick it up. If you are nowhere near help then the best way to hydrate koalas is to PLACE A BOWL OF WATER ON THE GROUND OR POUR THE WATER IN TO YOUR HAT/HELMET/CUP ETC AND HOLD NEAR KOALAS MOUTH SO THAT IT CAN LAP AT IT, FACE DOWN. PLEASE remember that Koalas are arboreal and nocturnal. If you see one sitting on the ground during the day then please contact a wildlife rescue organisation. They are usually very stressed if they are at the point of allowing human interaction, so please do not try and take selfies with the animal as you are just causing continued stress. PLEASE share this. With all the videos going viral of people giving them water from their bottles, the koalas have an added risk, during an already dangerous time! Please tell all of your friends... and if you see a video of someone pouring water out for a Koala comment on it saying: "PLEASE DO NOT GIVE KOALAS WATER BY POURING IT. JUST LET THEM LAP AT THEIR OWN PACE. IF IT GETS IN THEIR LUNGS IT COULD KILL THEM.
