Andi has been an amazing help to us, always willing to take on a rescue and willing to learn and seek guidance when needed! Well done Andi and thankyou for all that you do💖

“Stevie” the brushtail possum joey pictured below was rescued by Andi and has been in care with one of our carers, soon to be released back to the wild 🥰 He entered care at 250g and is now over 1kg 💪🏻🐾

Grace, a Yellow Bellied Glider (YBG) joey, was found at the base of a large tree by campers. She entered care weighing 98grams and is now just over 133grams. YBG are a large, active, sociable and vocal glider characterised by a gliding membrane (patagium) between the wrist and ankle, which allows them to glide long distances between trees. Their diet consists of nectar, sap, insects, and pollen, although Grace is still on formula. Their status is listed as vulnerable due to habitat loss.

As the weather warms up and heatwave conditions are seen across the state this week, you can help birds, bugs, and animals by providing shady spots and water at your home.

🫗A shallow bowl of water can provide a drink or a dip for wildlife - add a few rocks or sticks so animals can climb out if needed
⛱️Create some shade using leafy branches or some fabric so wildlife can move out of the sun to cool down
🐾While keeping your pets cool, make sure they're playing cool and leaving wildlife alone

If you find an injured native animal call Wildlife Victoria on 03 8400 7300, or contact your local wildlife shelter, carer or vet.
