Ringtail Possum Care Manual

WAWRC member and President of the Possum Centre in Busselton, Uta, has recently published Care Manual: Rehabilitation of Western Ringtail Possums.

Uta specialises in the care of Western Ringtail Possums and imparts her extensive knowledge in this quality production.

This comprehensive A5 size, 56 page, full colour manual is a much needed resource which addresses a scarcity of information on the care of these unique West Australian animals.

This manual is packed with a wealth of information, with each chapter designed as a stand-alone unit. This manual will be of interest to both experienced and new rehabilitators. Particularly useful are the practical tips along with the all important information about suppliers of the equipment and specialist milk formulas.

Burston Blues
In an Australian first, WAWRC members Jo and Glen are manufacturing Silicone Kangaroo Teats - Burston Blues - as a fundraiser for their centre.

They wanted a longer-lasting teat which felt closer to a kangaroo’s teat in feel and texture. The 2 and 3 ply food-grade silicone teats are available in all sizes.

The teats have been trialled over the last six months by a number of carers with the 3 ply teats still not showing signs of wear. No more holes or stretching after only a few weeks of use by older joeys. As the teats retain their shape they can be interchanged between animals; no more tanties when joey doesn’t get “his/her” own teat.

None of the joeys so far have had a problem with the colour of the teats,although the carers have been surprised, even shocked by the colour which is a dark blue.

Aba Bird Restraint

WAWRC’s Treasurer Nancy, who is a raptor rehabilitator, can supply fabric bird restraints which are ideal for dangerous birds like raptors and owls, or when you’re working alone with any large bird.

The birds' wrists are slipped into the pockets of the Aba* and the elastic tape is then wrapped firmly around the tarsi and tied in place. This short-term treatment restraint does not restrict the bird’s breathing or damage plumage, and minimises handling.

Kangaroos & Wallabies

WAWRC member Marg has secured a limited supply of this difficult to obtain book.

Marg says “This is an excellent handbook for the new carer and as well as those more experienced.  It contains great coloured photographs of most species of kangaroos and wallabies found throughout Australia and together with their distribution ranges. Easy to read chapters on biology, hand raising, illnesses and rehabilitation.” 

This book is available at a posted cost of $22.

Graduated Feeding Bottles

Marg also has a supply of the square 100ml graduated feeding bottles which are available for $1 each plus postage.

Lidded Feeding Bottles

WAWRC member Cathy is stocking 60ml and 100ml lidded feeding bottles.

Cathy has done extensive testing of the bottles and can vouch for the fact that they will withstand boiling water. These bottles come with lids which is handy if you prepare bottles of milk on a daily basis and/or you need to travel with your joeys. These lidded bottles are also great for decanting shampoo etc for travelling.

• Won’t leak.
• Plastic remains firm even when standing in boiling water.
• Teats fit snugly.
• All milk is easily drained by joey with no residual amount caught in the rim of bottle even if the teat has been flattened.
• Bottle brushes small and large fit and clean all areas.
• Syringes can be inserted but as there is risk of the syringe markings rubbing off into the bottle it's not recommended unless using a piece of tubing on the syringe.
• Bottles are $1 and $1.10 respectively for the 60ml and 100ml sizes, plus postage costs

Whether you buy one or more of these bottles the postage will the same ie $5 to $6.25. To maximise the postage cost, it’s worth getting together with a couple of other people to increase the size of your order. Exact postage costs will be confirmed when you email your order through.
