One of the most misunderstood mammals world wide… the bat.

Keystone for our environment, highly social and emotional mammals, unfortunately misrepresented by media hype.

Are you aware that research indicates that ABLV (Australian Bat Lyssavirus) is present in less than 1% of all free-living bats, this virus kills the host. So, that less than 1% can not get greater. Also, you can only get ABLV through contact with the saliva or neural tissue of an infected bat, NOT from their urine or f***s.

Bats should only be handled by trained and vaccinated rescuers.

This gorgeous young girl came in late last night after a member of the public found her. We assume she must be a first flyer, they seem to always get themselves into trouble.
Unfortunately for this soul we had to have her euthanised due to a severely broken wing.

3 babies over the last 36hrs… unfortunately all due to their mums dieing from car strikes.

PLEASE slow down, and stop… or at the very least call them in if you hit them.

All 3 of these babies were not called in after their mums were hit. It was the grace of a random coming upon a deceased animal, that stopped and checked… is the only reason they were found in-time to rescue

Our special new little man Spencer (Swamp wallaby), would like to wish all our amazing supporters and followers a safe and happy new year.

Due to localised flooding, a lot of our rescuers and carers are unable to attend.
Please be patient, we will return calls and attend to rescues.

For the time being, where safe to do so drop wildlife to your local vet. It is free to do so, and gives us a chance to organise collection when the vets call.

WILDLIFE & HEAT STRESS

☀️On hot days you may see tree-dwelling or nocturnal animals such as possums or koalas wandering around on the ground in search of a cooler spot or water.
☀️Birds may pant with their mouths open and hold their wings out from their body in an attempt to cool down.
☀️Flying foxes are particularly prone to heat
stress. They typically flap their wings and move down lower in the trees to escape heat from direct sunlight.
☀️Kangaroos and Wallabies can show signs of lethargy, reluctance to move, salivating, and lying down without quickly moving away when startled.
☀️Reptiles will seek refuge in cool, dark places such as under bushes, burrows, or rocks.

If you see any wildlife experiencing heat stress you should contact your closest wildlife rescue group and follow their directions. Attempting to capture or handle wildlife may put them under additional stress and you could injure them. They may also bite or scratch you.

To assist in preventing heat stress in your own yard you can:

1️⃣ Provide Water: Place shallow water containers around your yard, ensuring they are clean and water is changed daily.

2️⃣ Escape Ramps: Place sticks or stones in water containers to provide escape routes for smaller animals that may fall in.

3️⃣ Pools and Skimmer Boxes: Check pools and skimmer boxes twice a day for wildlife that may have fallen in. Provide a tethered rope or platform as a means of escape.

4️⃣ Reptile Assistance: Position water containers along the fence line to provide water for reptiles. This will not only hydrate them but also deter them from approaching houses.

5️⃣ Flying-fox Assistance: On very hot days, if you find a flying-fox on the ground or entangled in netting, call WILDLIFE RESCUE immediately for help.

6️⃣ Protect Pets: Keep cats and dogs indoors to prevent them from preying on vulnerable wildlife.

7️⃣ Shade: Offer shade for distressed animals with garden umbrellas or other covers. This helps prevent further heat stress.

8️⃣ Mist or Sprinkler: Gently mist distressed animals or place a nearby sprinkler to help cool them down. (This should not be done directly on the animal, sprinkler should be near by; and only done under direction ow wildlife rescue).

Due to the flood waters and dangerous driving conditions we are requesting patience with rescues. Unfortunately a majority of our rescuers are flooded in, so where possible and safe to do so, we are requesting birds and other wildlife be dropped to your closest vet please.
Alternatively please place in a box, we want to keep any animal in a warm, dark and quiet area of your house. We will advise of care (if required), drop off locations etc.

If we miss your call PLEASE txt or msg the page.

Remember if it’s flooded forget it, and please everyone keep safe.
