Hamish & Nettie’s Next Big Adventure!

After an incredible rehabilitation journey, Hamish and Nettie are taking the next step towards life in the wild.

These two wombats were lovingly hand-raised by the team at Pademelon Park before arriving at East Coast Nature World in January 2025. Since then, they’ve been busy growing, gaining confidence, and putting on the size and strength needed to become independent wild wombats.

Today, Hamish and Nettie have moved to a local landholder’s property, where they will spend the next two months completing the final stage of their rehabilitation before their eventual release back into the wild.

Wildlife rehabilitation is never the work of one person or one organisation. We are incredibly proud to have played a part in their journey. Every successful release is a reminder that collaboration truly makes a difference for Tasmania’s wildlife. 💚

“‘My, what big teeth you have!’ 😅 And check out those red ears — when Tasmanian devils get worked up, their ears can glow crimson… pretty easy to see how they earned the name devil!”

🐾 FUN FACT!

Sugar Glider can enter a state called torpor — something seen in many small mammals.

It’s like a mini energy-saving mode, where they slow their metabolism to help get through cooler periods ❄️

As the weather cools down, we give our gliders a helping hand with a heat lamp to keep them warm and comfortable 🔥

That way, they don’t have to burn through all their precious energy reserves just to stay warm 💛

Pretty clever little survivors, hey!

Today we’re sharing Easy Guide #3, the final part of our series on checking the pouch of a marsupial 🦘💛

This guide focuses on the do’s and don’ts of safely removing a joey from the pouch.

One of the most important things to remember is never pull a joey from the teat, as this can cause serious injury to their mouth. Taking the time to follow the correct steps can make a huge difference in giving them the best chance of survival.

Please read through the guide carefully and consider saving it to your phone 📱 in case you ever need to help a tiny joey.

And remember, Wildcare Australia volunteers are available 24/7 to assist 🐾

Save our rescue hotline 📞 5527 2444 so help is always just a call away 💚

Did you know all baby marsupials are called joeys? 🦘💛

Today we’re sharing Easy Guide #2 in our 3-part series, focusing on how to safely check the pouch of a deceased marsupial.

Knowing how to check the pouch properly can truly make a difference and help save a life. Joeys can become cold and hypoglycaemic very quickly, especially in cooler weather, so acting fast is so important ❄️

We recommend saving this guide to your phone 📱 so it’s there when you need it. Please feel free to share it with your friends and local community pages to help spread awareness 💚

Keep an eye out for Easy Guide #3 tomorrow! 👀

As we head into the coming months, our volunteer wildlife rescuers will be responding to more calls about wildlife on our roads 🦘💔

One of the most common questions we receive on our emergency hotline is:

“How can I tell if a marsupial is male or female?”

Unlike many domestic animals, marsupials have some key anatomical differences that aren’t always obvious.

To help, we’ve created a series of Easy Guides 📘 that walk you through:

✔️ How to identify if the animal is male or female
✔️ Where to locate and check the pouch
✔️ How to safely remove a joey if needed

We’ll be sharing these guides over the next 3 days, starting today with identifying the s*x of the animal and locating the pouch in females.

While the guide references kangaroos, the same principles apply to all marsupials including wallabies, possums, koalas and bandicoots 🐨

If you live in a wildlife-rich area, we highly recommend saving this guide to your phone 📱 so it’s there when you need it.

Please help spread awareness by sharing this post and infographic with your local community 💚

It’s Quoll Swap Day 🤝🐾

Today marks our annual eastern quoll swap — a key part of the conservation breeding programme here in Tasmania.

Each year before breeding season, wildlife parks including and us at East Coast Nature World meet up (yes… in the Banjo’s car park at Campbell town 😄) Nothing dodgy its all for conservation and to swap animals.

Why?
To make sure we’re pairing the right genetics and keeping the population strong and diverse.

After breeding season, the next generation of quolls will be released back into the wild later this year — helping boost numbers of this threatened Tasmanian species.

This is now our third year running this collaborative effort, and it’s a pretty special reminder that conservation is a team effort.

What a hoot! 🦉
Our Endangered Tasmanian masked owls have checked into their new temporary “luxury quarantine suite” 😄

While they’re off display, we’re giving their home a serious upgrade — a brand-new roof and added lock-off for extra protection, with our local contractor legends hard at work.

All part of federally funded upgrades to strengthen biosecurity and help protect these birds from H5 avian influenza.
