Indigo was rescued just over a week ago by one of Bonorong’s amazing rescuers who always pouch checks on her way home. Her mother was hit by a car just under a bridge near where we live in a 70km area just before midnight. Even these speeds can be lethal to an in pouch brushtail possum. While her mother was already dead, lucky for her, not even a bruise, eyes still closed at 125 grams.

At 140 grams, a few days later you can see the eyes just starting to open. Indigo has already hit 150 grams today and eyes fully open.

Meet Lexi. Lexi came into care 3 weeks ago after being found alone at a tiny 150g and taken to a nearby vet in Launceston, Tasmania’s north. No one knows why she was alone or what happened to her mother. She was cold, but uninjured. It was a bit of a tough start and a small road trip to get here but she has progressed well, sprouting lots of hair and now taking in interest in local browse as wattle to nibble. Big thanks to Natalie, another registered wildlife carer who helped her with her journey to here.

Today we released 3 sweet brushtail possum joeys. Luca was rehabilitated by Jessica from Wild little lives Tassie. He had been rescued after found clinging to the back of his deceased mother after she had been hit by a car. He was buddyless so we decided buddy him up with girls in preparation for release. After a week he spent his days sleeping with them.

Jade was the tiny velvet clinging to her deceased mother’s back after her mother was hit by a car. Ruby was the tiny velvet Joey found the next day wrapped in leaves after she lost her home and mother to a heavily pruned tree in a backyard. A big shoutout again to Kingston Animal Hospital wildlife team who saved Ruby’s life.

These 3 will now live their best lives free back in the wild.

Pademelons, compared to other animals can take a bit of time to feed. Hudson who is care here wants to demonstrate that this is a myth, look at him drink. Pity his buddy Hannah hasn’t got that message yet.
