This mothers day, be thankful your mum isn't a treeshrew

🐾 Mum treeshrews give birth to 2-4 blind, hairless young - and then leaves them in their own separate nest, whilst she returns to her own nest
🐾 Over a 4-week period, mum will spend a total of ~25mins with her babies - only popping past to nurse them every 2 days
🐾 Mum doesn't groom her young, or tend to their nest.

Tag a mum who wishes they were a treeshrew 😂

Today marked the official launch of our our partnership with Mental Health Motorbike and the creation of their very first Mental Health Hub - in our café. We would love to extend a thank you for all the support we received today, and to everyone who joined the celebratory ride out into the lakes.

They have a comprehensive network of mental health first aid volunteers around the country who attend bike events, provide online support, face to face, and 1-2-1 support.

At the hub, there will always be a Mental Health First Aider on site. Should anybody feel the need for a chat and some support. On our regular bike nights Wildlife Oasis Bike nights, Milnthorpe, members of the Mental Health Motorbike regional team will be there to chat, offer support and resources, as well as more information about Mental Health Motorbike and the work we do.

This World Frog Day, we're taking the opportunity to spotlight our Marsupial Frogs! 🐸

What gives Marsupial Frogs their name?
🐸 Females have brood pouches on their backs, where males deposit the fertilised eggs
🐸 Fertilised eggs remain in the female's pouch for 5-6 weeks
🐸 When the eggs become tadpoles, they are deposited into a body of water where they continue their development, and it takes another few weeks for them to transform into frogs

These frogs are listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN RedList

⚖️ Weekly Weigh-in ⚖️

Simon, our Raccoon Dog, can be a little shy around his scale training, but as soon as he gets his tasty treat on the scales, he will come back again and again to make sure he gets as many treats as possible!
