Although this video is from the US, the message is still the same; if you find wildlife needing assistance, don’t try and care for it yourself. Please call a wildlife group in your area and surrender the animal in a timely manner. It can be a matter of life or death for it 💔

📣 THE IMPORTANCE OF POUCH CHECKS 📣

A member of the public contacted me about a deceased Brushtail possum that still had a joey in her pouch. I carefully cut the mother’s teat to free the baby (taking care that scissors did not go near the joey), then placed the baby into a warm pouch with the teat attached. It’s vital never to pull a baby off a teat, as doing so can cause serious damage to its delicate jaw.

Thanks once again to Ipswich City Council for another approved wildlife grant.

Grants provide essential funding for rescuers and carers who volunteer their time and energy into assisting our vulnerable wildlife.

Here’s some of what I was able to purchase on this round.

Nest boxes are for the following wildlife:
- Rainbow Lorikeets
- Sulpher Crested Cockatoos
- Kookaburras
- Barn Owls
- Owlet Nightjars
- Spotted Pardalotes
- Brushtail Possums
- Microbats

Hanging baskets allow me to make dreys for orphaned ringtail possums.

Amphibian travel containers help us rescue injured and diseased frogs.

Kevlar arm sleeves protect us from bats who may want to bite and scratch (we are vaccinated).

Baby scales for weighing possum undergoing care.

And a trail camera for keeping an eye on possums who have been soft released ❤️

🚗🌙 Wildlife on the Move: Stay Alert This Trauma Season

As the days grow shorter and the evenings cooler, we enter a time known within the wildlife community as trauma season — a period when we sadly see a spike in road accidents involving our nocturnal native mammals.

Koalas, possums, bandicoots, wallabies and kangaroos become more active at dawn and dusk, which now coincides with when many of us are still on the road coming home from work. This greatly increases their risk of being hit by vehicles.

Here’s how you can help:
Be extra cautious on the roads at dawn and dusk – slow down and stay alert for wildlife near the roadside.
Know who to call - save our Hotline number (07 5527 2444) to your phone so you're prepared if you come across injured wildlife.
Learn how to check a pouch – this simple skill can save a joey’s life.
If you find a deceased marsupial, please stop (only if it’s safe to do so) and check for signs of life. If confirmed deceased, please check the pouch - there may be a joey inside that needs urgent care.

To help, we’ve created three easy-to-follow resources:

Removing a Joey from the Pouch 👉 https://bit.ly/3Zmr3u5

Our 24/7 Wildlife Rescue Hotline is always here for you, or you can reach out to your local wildlife rescue group.

Thank you for driving with care — a small action from you can mean the world to our native wildlife. 🐾

Did you know that excessive artificial light at night affects our wildlife? 🌃🐾

Many of our nocturnal species have adapted to use darkness for important activities like foraging and migrating. The effects of light can prevent them from thriving continuing to disturb our ecosystems.

Here are steps you can take at home to combat light pollution:
💡 Only light areas where you need to and consider whether the light has a specific purpose
💡 Use non-reflective, dark-coloured surfaces near lighting fixtures to reduce the impact
💡 Avoid white lights. Choose amber lights with little or no blue wavelength.

By taking these simple steps to protect the night, we're not only preserving the beauty of our skies but also helping the creatures that call it home. 🌠
