25.01.2022 Last week we were called to save a mother Feather-tail Glider and her three super cute babies! These gliders are only the size of a mouse when fully grown. Sadly they often mistaken to be mice and killed. They are actually the worlds smallest gliding mammal! They are named for their long feather shaped tails. They eat insects and are of course a native possum. This little family found it’s self in trouble as the local bulldozers are pushing over their homes for a housing estate. Land clearing is a massive problem for our local wildlife. Luckily the environmental group over looking the development spotted these guys and got them straight into care. Unharmed the family were relocated to a nearby property, where they are safe and happy. Thanks to the help of our neighbouring wildlife group NATF.

15.01.2022 Meet Bumblebee! He is a super cute brush tail possum. He was taken into care as a baby in January, unfortunately Bumblebees mum was killed but luckily he was uninjured. He is now at his last stages of care, soon he will be released back into the wild from a safe place where he has warm boxes to sleep in and support feeding until he get used to being a wild possum again. Good luck little buddy x

13.01.2022 INTERESTING FACT........ Joeys require sunshine for the development of strong bones, through absorption of Vitamin D from ultra violet rays. This is why you see baldy little heads poking out of mum's pouch.

12.01.2022 All marsupials have a grooming toe .This toe ..known as the syndacylous Is found on the foot..it is the inner toe... So kangaroos..have their own hair brush. They lick the double toenail before grooming themselves with it...The toe is quiet small.. which is seen in the pics below.....

07.01.2022 There is no greater sorrow than holding a wombat joey in your arms when they die. And you can't stop yourself from wondering if you've done enough. If you made ...a mistake, if you could have done more. It haunts you always, and when they die they take a little bit of you with them It has been hard knowing how many of the little ones coming into care didnt' survive. But why do they survive for months in absolute hell and agony, only to die when in care? There is a reason for this. After talking this over with someone who sees the same, we had the thought that out there, they are in 100% survival mode. They never stop, they never give up because they have to stay alive, survive. It's instinct. For Thor to have had stress alopecia I'm guessing he never slept and never stopped, he kept moving. But when they come into care, they don't need to fight so hard, they don't need to keep moving anymore. So when they are warm, and safe, they can finally rest, and they just give in. Fall asleep and gently pass away. There have been many, some survived, most didn't, but these 3 little ones will always be close to my heart, they each had a unique story, they fought bravely, but it was too much for them to bear and in the end, they silently fell asleep and died peacefully
