The weekends just get absorbed, faster than weekdays I reckon. We have had to start syringe feeding Mr Bean. His wounds are doing better but clearly there is damage to his system and we are not sure whether it includes his spine. One thing with wombats, if they cannot attack head on, they attack the arch of a wombats back from behind (this is because the other wombat is in a submissive position and cannot get away). The damage sometimes penetrates right through the skin and muscle, down to the bone, depending on the severity of the attack. The last male we brought in who had been attacked, you could see how his back was arched even before you got close, which indicated something severely wrong and pain.
Anyhow, we will do what we can as always. And it is 5:58pm and Veg has just turned up to eat from the feeding station!! What the?? She is about 3 hours too early. She must be sleeping under the house again. That is good in a way as she has a touch of pneumonia and we have to inject her so we can do that now, back later.
Sleepy Burrows is where humans and wombats inhabit the area. It's a place where you never plan anything, life does that for you. You can of course plan your day, but you would have the wildlife laughing at you from afar:).
