Happy International Wombat Day! 💚 Join us as we celebrate our adorable wombat Millie and share our five favourite wombat facts! From cube-shaped poo to backward-facing pouches, these marsupials are full of surprises. | Symbio Wildlife Park

Baby wombats remain in their mothers’ pouches anywhere between 4 to 10 months. And at the Australia Zoo, one little wombat joey is finally ready to emerge and see the world for the first time. See more cute baby wombats: http://littlethings.us/gTrMzu | LittleThings

Chapter 2: treating bub (Named Teeny) first Usually doing a rescue or mange treatment with two wombats simultaneously is incredibly difficult. In this case they made it easy as bub wandered off and I was able to sneak up on her and give her treatment for sarcoptic mange. She looks bad but it can still be turned around. She is aware of me, no obvious wounds and no decaying smell of infection. As always I prefer my trusty extendable pole so I can get her gently and not have to chase her or scare h

After his treatment and giving us a “look” he went straight back to sleep Beautiful boy. Fortunately his mange is moderate so he will be feeling better soon | Wombat Rescue

Another wombat treated for mange early this morning. We suspect it’s Stu, a wombat treated once last year before he disappeared. One dose Bravecto is not enough so it’s starting from scratch again and hopefully we can give him two follow up doses. Lucky for him he has most of the fur on his back but his front legs and torso is covered in thick plaques If you want to support us in helping them please do. It costs us an average of $250 per wombat for treatment. You can donate at www.wombatrescue.c
