May is a MITEy fine month to get on top of any lingering mite issues in your enclosures and on your pets!
Remember, small mammals like rats and guinea pigs suffer from mite parasites, just like birds and reptiles.

If you're observing changes to your pets' skin, beak, feather moulting, skin shedding or patchy fur, you could have a microscopic mite problem.

Treatments are available, and prevention is always better than cure! For more information about mite (and other parasite) preventions for your pet, contact us today!

𝗗𝗮𝘆𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝘅𝗶𝗺𝘂𝗺 𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀 31 𝘁𝗼 36. ⚠️ High temperatures across our region this week and little relief overnight means our 𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝘁𝘀 could be in 𝗯𝗶𝗴 𝘁𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗲. We've already seen and admitted a number of patients with 🥵 Heat stress / exhaustion,💧 Dehydration and other heat related issues. 𝗜𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗯𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴. ✅️ place extra water bowls (not easily tipped over) ✅️ access to shade at ALL times ✅️ circulating air ✅️ fresh food / spritz foliage with water ❌️ DO NOT rely on shade alone (a hutch or aviary can still overheat animals in the shade!!) If you think your pet may have become a bit overheated or just seems a bit 'off', please contact for urgent advice! Stay cool 😎

𝗥𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘆 𝘄𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗲𝘁𝘀 🌧☔ With all the rain and flooding around our Far North region, this is a reminder to ensure your pets have safe, warm and dry 𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗹𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲𝘀. - Check your outdoor hutches and coops for flooding - Provide extra shelter for aviary birds - Relocate patio cages to protect from wind and rain - Monitor enclosures for increased ant and pest activity Also, the sudden cool temperatures and wet weather can also 𝙨𝙪𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙩𝙡𝙚 𝙞𝙢𝙢𝙪𝙣𝙚 𝙨𝙮𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙢𝙨 and cause some pets to become unwell very easily.

Sunday afternoon chills be like 💗 🦜😌

Glider update: Since their public debut last week, our glider babies are still continuing to develop more day by day. Now an impressive 12 grams (yes, believe it or not, that’s impressive), their eyes are opening, they’re becoming more adventurous and guzzling over 1 mL of milk each feed!

Isn’t this little guy just adorable! In the wild, echidnas have a sole diet of ants and termites. They use their long sticky tongues to reach into termite mounds and ant nests, the tongue is so sticky that the insects get stuck. The echidna then pulls its tongue back in and consumes the insects that have become stuck. While in hospital, we try to replicate the diet as best as possible ensuring they receive the right vitamins and nutrients. Echidnas love a mix of an insect supplement and a high protein supplement, but are usually rather elusive about eating. This little one though couldn’t get into the bowl quick enough! You may notice that this echidna doesn’t appear to have as many spines as ‘normal’. This is a very young echidna, likely an offspring from the most recent breeding season. As it gets older it will not only get larger but will also develop a lot more spines over its back.

Isn’t this gorgeous little Papuan Frogmouth the cutest...it even sounds just like a frog in a drain pipe don’t you think?! Often mistaken for being owls...or tree branches, these peculiar looking (and sounding) birds are more closely related to nightjars and are primarily insectivorous. Unfortunately, they’re often brought in to care with traumatic injuries following motor vehicle incidents sustained whilst out feeding after dark. This young Papuan seems to be one of the lucky ones!

📷 We’ll post some more photos soon...

Taking in the fresh air of freedom...seems pretty happy!

Have you ever seen a snake drinking water? Although it is widely known that snakes will often sit and soak in their water bowls, not everyone knows that they drink the water also. As the days will slowly start to heat up, don’t forget to provide ALL your pets with fresh, clean water daily.
