π¦π¦π¦Joey Check in, 6 in care πππ
This past week has been a roller-coaster of mixed emotions of sadness, broke sleep, hope, joy, grief and also laughter.
π¦Gemma 3kg is doing really well.
π¦Harlen 2.5kg thinks he's the King of the world, he's the funniest little man, he's the mischievous one already.
π¦Indaly 4.5kg is about to go to her new home this week as she's getting "too big" for here.
π¦Jay 3.5kg has a few muscular issues and couldn't really hop when he arrived, he'd stoop everywhere but not he can hop for about 9 meters, he's getting stronger everyday. Lots of physio for him.
π¦Kermit 280gms was found by Barb on a road trip. Rip πͺ
π¦Laci was rescued by a young man who met us in Wangaratta.
π¦Milo was rescued by locals 405gms.Ripπͺ
π¦Norma-Jean 540gms was rescued in Whitfield and brought to us by Barb . She is doing beautifully and sleeps in a humidity crib and fed every 4hrs including overnight.
Little "pinkies" like Kermit and Milo very rarely survive or need to be put to sleep. Their little bodies and organs aren't formed enough to survive in our world. We find alot have bruising and possibly internal injuries.
Knowing they are warm, loved and a full belly is bitter-sweet but it's better than knowing that they passed away cold, laying on the side of the road, or survive 3 days in their Mummas pouch.
Please stop and check for a joey if you accidentally hit wildlife or find a Roo that has passed, as you never know if there's a little one inside the pouch.
If you don't know how to, ring your local wildlife shelter or Wildlife Victoria or Wires *(nsw) and they'll talk you through it.
Also in care are SugarGlider, Blue Tongue and 3 King parrot, we had a Tawny Frogmouth who passed away from car accident
If you'd like to help support our wildlife shelter you can do so by depositing into our dedicated wildlife account.
