This little cutie was in the loving care of our team yesterday before heading off to WIRES.
A kind member of the public brought in a mother ringtail possum after finding her on the ground, barely moving. Sadly, despite our best efforts, mum didnโt survive, however we were able to carefully checked her pouch and discovered two tiny joeys tucked safely inside. Thankfully, we were able to rescue both babies, and they have now been transferred into the experienced hands of WIRES carers, where theyโll receive the specialised care they need.
A huge thank you to the caring member of the public who stopped to help. By taking the time to bring mum in, they gave these two little ones a second chance at life. ๐๐พ
A reminder for everyone: If you come across a deceased or injured marsupial, there may still be surviving joeys in the pouch. If it is safe to do so, please check the pouch or contact your local wildlife rescue organisation as soon as possible. Please donโt assume the babies havenโt survivedโchecking the pouch could save a life.
Every rescued joey is another chance for our precious native wildlife. ๐ฆ๐
