Dimi

Here are a couple of pics of Dimi the little orphan Brushtail possum whose Mum was hit by a car and killed.

Luckily someone thought to check her pouch and got the little bub to a wildlife carer who then sent him on to me to raise.

He was around 100g when he came in and is now 1.8kg and looks very different.

He has moved on to another carer who has an aviary available for him to get some exercise for a couple of weeks to build up strength before he goes back where he belongs...the tree tops.


This is him now:

AWARE

For many years I've wanted to become a wildlife carer and it seems the time is coming.
I've been caring for orphaned rabbits for years and want to extend that experience into wildlife care.
There is an information evening next week that I'm going to to take the first steps towards becoming a wildlife rehabber.
Exciting!
