2016- 2019 Jeffery 'White claw' 'Bite-a-lot" doing so well 2026

latest news 20th august  2026

We had large snowflakes last week, and Jeffery White claw (vcan you see it) has beed banging Daves door off and on wanting some support. He never normally see's him but think it was especially cold last week and he got a quick shot with his phone to show us how well he looks. These are Kangaroo pellets wildlife should not be fed its not often thankfully and at least f something is wrong he can be treated or rescued as he turned up as the firestorm approached in dec 2019 and Dave grabbed him and dumped him in their huge bathroom. First time he's got a photo and we have seen him since his release in around 2018

 Below blog runs in chronological order

Mr Jeffery bite-a-lot! He  has a  white claw front not commonly seen, and generally covered in dirt.  He  came into care at just  1.1 kg in October 2016, from another carer  he was quite ill for a while when he came into care and Dr Howard was able to save him. He's been a lovely cuddly wombat buddied up with Elmo, Monty and poppet.

Jeffery has appeared with first cold nights for a little some thing extra may 2022 at Denis and Daves place where he has been released ! hes seen generally only at this time. cheeky boy and looking amazing 

Recently august 2017 he's started to jump and bite, shredding lots of our clothes, finally in November he's settled down some and leaves Poppette and Monty alone.

Sadly Elmo died in the night from a twisted bowel, apparently  common in smaller wombats as there always jumping and going a bit crazy.

With Elmo gone Jeffery and Poppet have become inseperable. And so Jeffery  has a go at monty any chance he can get.

We had to move Monty into a new enclosure next door to settle things down. We did not see alot of Jeffery and poppet, sleeping like wombats should.

Late summer 2018 and they managed to join the mass tunnel digging and made 3 enclosures connected by a 8 m tunnel and all up 10 wombats Ahhh!

Jeffery was part of the breakout gang and started his release.  He got rather badly beaten up in a couple of days so back he came, banging on doors to be let back into his pen.

By this time Jeffery and Jess were doing ok together so they spent winter in the Highschoold wombatorium. Dry very cold winter was not suitable for releaseing, were hand feeding hay to wild and released wombats kangaroos and wallabys

December saw an attempt to relesase Jeffer and Jess after we had constructed the new release pen at Kurts.

Poor jeffery as attacked straight off by Jess whom decided the new smaller (9 x 10 m ) space was his. So back Jeffery has come to the high school wombatorium. We will fatten him up some more and try releasing him by himself at Denis and Daves.
