Raising Resilient Wombats: from Rehabilitation to Release in a Changing Climate

Dianna made this 25 minute video to present at the 2025 Australian Wildlife Rehabilitation Conference in Canberra.

Its a fast paced  video covering Humanisation, Health and Release and Beyond. We do not cover  many aspects of actual care for you wombats or indeed apply this to Macropods and possums. This covers specific things and methods we found helpful in helping people Not humanise so much and end up with wildlife that substantially lives a wild life. Any hand raised wildlife is likely to come back if it can when it gets in trouble, or times become really tough, accept help and then move back to a wild life. So you are not  seeing them daily or often and they are managing, breading and getting on with being wild.  Your welcome to watch it and Dianna is happy to discuss with you. We have some and will increase information on construction of pen's and boxes in these blogs. These are whats worked for us, and generally speaking pens need to be far far bigger than standards for that species, the bigger the better and the wilder you can keep them. Enjoy Regards Dianna and Warwick
