Urgent: Possum Crisis – Volunteers Needed Now

This Spring has hit the wildlife sector hard.🔨

We’ve never had so many rescue calls or possums in care for this time of the year. We need your help.

To meet this emergency, we’re offering an additional Possum Care Course on October 12 in Stirling. This hands-on session will give you all the training you need to make a real impact.

We need passionate, committed volunteers ready to step up and provide possums with proper care.

Our wildlife needs you now more than ever. Don’t wait – sign up today, learn the skills, and be part of their survival story.

Those milk coma feels 🥰🩷

This little ringtail possum was starving after being found on the ground frozen cold with no mum.

Once warm she was offered some possum milk and she ravenously drank the lot leaving her sporting a milk moustache, full belly and the urge to sleep 😴

Baby Oakley being reunited with his Mum 🐨❤️

09/09/2024

Iv had the pleasure of looking after baby Oakley since Saturday night untill the wonderful team at 1300Koalaz found his mum today ❤️🙌

It’s taken over 20 volunteers 2 nights and 2 days of relentless searching for this amazing outcome to occur, thank you to everyone involved 🥰

This afternoon I got to reunite baby Oakley with his mum 🥰
The joy we all feel is just not measurable in words 🤩

These 2 will be monitored in care for a few days to ensure baby is getting the appropriate milk and hopefully released later this week.

Stay tuned for the reunion video and lots of koala spam 🤪🤩🥰🐨🐨🐨

Remember Hudson?

He had the most horrific skin, with a mixed condition of bacterial infection, Candida growth and ringworm on his skin 🦠🤢😢

His skin got worse before it got better, his hair fell out and he looked a sad sight

I had to follow quarantine measures as ringworm is highly contagious.
Well guys I contracted ringworm anyway 🤦🏻‍♀️ 🦠 sporting 17 lesions!! It was horrible and slightly impressive at the same time 🤪
My doctor was disappointed that I didn’t bring the kangaroo with me to my doctors appointment 🤣🤪

After 8 weeks of medications for Hudson his skin resolved and his hair started growing back 🙌❤️ he’s now such a handsome beautiful looking boy ( see the last photo)

After 2 weeks of medication 💊 for myself, I’m now clear too 🙌

Im just so pleased Hudson has made a full recovery ❤️🥰

Meet Emily 💝
she’s a tiny Western Grey kangaroo joey weighing only 460g

Her mum was hit by a car and sadly died, leaving Emily orphaned. Fortunately she was rescued by Lisa Unnasch and taken into care.

With a suspected broken wrist and grazes on her face tail and legs from the road she was sent to me for specialised nursing care and treatment.

Luckily her wrist was not broken just very swollen from the open wounds and trauma, after cleaning the area her wounds were dressed and she’s rocking an awsome hot pink bandage 🥰

Emily is doing well after being in care for a week already, she is small but mighty 💪 and is not shy by call out when she wants her bottle.

Did you know that babies this small need to be bottle fed every 4 hours around the clock ⏰ yes that’s right 5 feeds a day 🍼 she certainly keeps me busy!

We are wishing her a speedy recovery ❤️‍🩹

This poor Red kangaroo joey “Hudson” has the most sever fungal skin infection covering his entire body that I have ever seen 😭🦠

He was sent to me for intensive Nursing treatment and care 🥰
After a full examination, and testing at the vets he now has an assortment of medications to help cure his nasty skin.

Although he smells and looks yucky 😕 he has a personality that lights up the room, he holds his ears up tall and straight with confidence, he calls out demanding his milk bottle 🍼 and loves a chest scratch throwing his head back with enjoyment 🥰

Continue to shine bright Hudson ⭐️
We have get this 👊
