Meet Cheese ๐
We're here meeting all the needs you didn't know you had: watching a ferret eat dinner โ

It was the moment that gave us all goosebumps. ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ
As he stood on the water's edge with his wings stretched out, we felt his power unfold. The wild morning winds whispered impatiently, ready to take him away.
And with one final look back - almost as if to say "thank you, friends" - Bobbi, the pelican, returned home.
This young pelican was rescued in Stanley after a kind member of the public noticed that something wasn't quite right. She was correct; he was suffering from injuries after a likely collision. He was brought into our clinic by Penguin Rehab and Release, and while our X-rays fortunately showed no breaks, injuries to his ligaments required special attention and care. We needed to strap up his wing and closely monitor his progress and health.
With his larger-than-life personality, Bobbi made sure we knew he was the boss, especially when it came to food! Thus, Master Bobbi had quite the journey of rehabilitation.
His successful return home after several weeks was possible only through the collaboration of many caring individuals: a concerned member of the public, vets from Smithton to the Melbourne Zoo to Forth Valley, rescue volunteers, experienced wildlife carers, vet nurses, volunteer photographers, transport drivers, and fish suppliers.
๐ Thank you, everyone! ๐
Here are the weeks of rehab condensed into 90 seconds of hard work and love.
So, Master Bobbi, fly free, my friend.
We hope you continue to live a happy, healthy, and free wild life.โฃ๏ธ
Precious little moments with a precious little Joey โค๏ธ. This little one is in the hands of a wildlife carer now.
How cute is Nurse Georgia's little one using an enrichment feeder!
Do you feed your pet in a bowl or have you tried something a little more stimulating? We'd love to hear about and see photos of your setup below ๐ค
Just in case you need a little something to warm your heart on a rainy Wednesday ๐๐ฅฐ
This is one of Nurse Georgia's darlings using a cat feeder ๐
How do you feed your cats? Do you use normal bowls or slow feeders or activity puzzles?
We'd love to see some pictures of your favourite bowl/s or special feeders! ๐ฑ๐

This little bubba was a Uterine Torsion - where the uterus flips and spins the vagina... similar to the way we tie a balloon top.
Dr Gen worked her magic and this little cutie was a safe, healthy, happy arrival โจ ..... even Mumma agrees
