Feeding the native rats. Don’t worry, this one isn’t dead or having a fit. They do this thing where they get so enthusiastic about their food that they kind of just stop and stiffen up. They are perfectly ok, this is apparently normal for the species, it’s just the strangest thing we’ve ever seen. #rats #nativerats #wildlifecarer #nativewildlifecare #nativewildlife

This was posted in our duckie carer’s group and sums up my last few weeks perfectly!! 😆 I do have to say though, that raising my first batch of ducklings was one of the most rewarding things I’ve ever done and I have a second batch who are growing at lightening speed and I can’t wait to release them too, in another 6 weeks or so! Today was such a good day because it meant I’d successfully raised my gorgeous little foster ducklings to get them ready for release, and despite the fact that I currently have all five resting at my feet right now, they’re all officially free ducks! 🦆 💕 #australianwoodduck #wildlifecarer https://www.instagram.com/p/CNUNEarF8ym/?igshid=9iigv3bvlvwe

Isn't it cute!! This little guy is a Little Red Flying Fox (Pteropus scapulatus). Little red flying foxes vary in colour from reddish brown to light brown, and there are patches of light, creamy, brown fur where the wing membrane and shoulder meet. They live in a broad range of habitats that include semi-arid areas to tropical and temperate eucalypt forests, paperbark swamps and monsoon forests. Did you know that Little Reds are the only flying fox in the world that eats almost exclusively nectar. @queensland @australia #bat #megabat #wildlifeconservation #wildlifecarer #animalia #animal #wildlife #mammal #photo #photographer #image #Australia #thisisaustralia #queensland #thisisqueensland #DSLR #DSLRphotography #native (at Ingham, Queensland) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5hBsyHntpy/?igshid=zb9x7fqprrtx

Getting some Koala'ty rest is assured with this species. This one is one of Australia's most iconic animals. Yep, you guessed it. It's a Koala (Phascolarctos cinereus). Despite the rumours, koalas don’t ‘get high’ or ‘drugged out’ on eucalyptus leaves. It’s because the leaves are so low in nutrients that koalas need more sleep than most animals which basically helps them conserve energy, sleeping as much as 18 hours a day. Unfortunately, the fires in both Queensland and New South Wales has caused a dramatic decline in numbers with even more in wildlife careers or hospitals with burns, dehydration or other injuries or infection/ disease. These carers and organisations are mostly public funded, so donations are always helpful. @queensland @australia #koala #wildlifeconservation #wildlifecarer #wildlife #marsupial #photo #photographer #image #Australia #thisisaustralia #queensland #thisisqueensland #DSLR #DSLRphotography https://www.instagram.com/p/B5bXhOZnb2i/?igshid=o0zxiwhw4prt

Hi guys! Bit of a quick one for now. Our calender's are now for sale for $35 + $12 postage anywhere in Australia, if you are in Townsville or Ingham areas we can deliver these personally to thank you for your support. As stated before, the money raised from these will be going to a wildlife organisation.

Your help is key and why not be have a calendar to remember your part in helping wildlife! #animals #wildlife #wildlifecarer #fires #qld #thisisqueensland #thisisaustralia #australia #calendar #Fauna #help #wildliferescue #Canon #canonlife #sigma (at Townsville, Queensland) https://www.instagram.com/p/B486P_aAKC1/?igshid=jadlczvnmq02

No lash pictures today, not when you got this little fellow in the lash room. 4 months old! So gorgeous, just getting his fur. Mum got hit by a car but this this fellow will survive because of the brilliant care from Gina. Carers need pampering too! #wildlife #wildlifecarer #eyelashextensions

Don’t know what you did this weekend but I’ve been a bit busy. Picked up a pup for adoption, picked up an amazing amount of donated food for Wallys Doggie Rescue And now it’s hour 8 of rescuing bats, sub cutting and trading my soul to save these babies 💗💗💗 #bellsechoanimalresortanddayspa #wildlifecarer #wildliferescue #wallysdoggierescue #myday
