To make it easier we installed a water pipe for Sandy in her enclosure which takes around 20 litres and will last her 2 or 3 weeks She is quite comfy in her new burrow but has been making a lot of noise at night banging on the metal frame, no doubt trying to get out. I’m still not 100% convinced she’s not a pet but she is doing wombatty stuff and digs a bit and drags grasses into the burrow to sleep on. She is big enough to be released but we just have to make sure she has the skills and will su

Ashlee’s kicking back up in the wombat enclosure, making herself right at home on Betty and Kev’s beds 😂. The wombats aren’t too impressed about sharing their space, and Kev’s decided Ashlee’s good sport shoes look like a tasty snack—he’s having a go at chewing them up! Ashlee doesn’t seem too phased though, just living her best life, soaking it all in while the wombats look on like really? 🤣 It’s been freezing down here lately—winter nights dropping below zero, and most days struggling to cra

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

Canberra-based wombat rescuer Yolandi Vermaark of Wombat Rescue is on the frontline of fighting mange in wombats. Here, Australian Geographic follows her on one of her typical weekends, which involves looking for joeys in roadkill and treating a small population of wombats with cydectin that helps get rid of mange. It's a hard story to watch, but Yolandi believes all Australians need to open their eyes to the incredible suffering wombats with mange endure. | Australian Geographic

💩 video.. Louis and Laila are on the same milk, same feeding regime and same weight but their poop couldn’t look more different He does use the log though which is very cute. It used to be pumpkin colour but turned darker with the bark they’re chewing on | Wombat Rescue
