One of our wombats who had a very hard start in life, not only made it but is now a mother herself. We see her most nights and have been fortunate enough to watch her joey grow up in her pouch. Just another reason to live where we do. I hope we get to watch this little girl (yes, we know its a girl) grow up:).

Johnson is not reacting to the antibiotics which might mean what he has is viral which is not good. Means we have to watch him go downhill while his body tries to fight things. I'm hoping he will take a turn for the better. His weight is stable but he is still skeletal. Boney Bum continues to cause havoc at night and I do hope we don't have any pregnant females in the enclosure area. That thought had crossed my mind. Will have to watch and monitor his antics more closely I think, which is a bit hard when it is minus figures at night - not when you want to be out there sitting still and waiting!!!

How I wish my vet was listed on the stock exchange *lol*. Back to the vet with Johnson (aka little man) who has for some reason stopped eating entirely. Was the picture of health 2 weeks ago. Now resembles a skeleton. These animals never stop teaching you and of course, we need to find the underlying problem and somehow I think it is Boney Bum. Will see what our dear vet says.

Oh where do I start with such a long break from writing. Wombats have come and gone, moved, reshuffled, gotten sick, gotten better, more in, more out, you name it, its all happened in the last 2 months. Buzz you would now just not recognise. He is a dear old man it seems, with manners to match and does not resemble the wombat he was months ago when he came in.

Mr Bean, his back has still not healed over, its taking a long long time. Boney Bum continues to wreak havoc with jumping into enclosure areas at night and trying to assert his male dominance, and winning of course. Miss G has broken through the enclosure fence for the third time and has gone walk about. I'm hoping she shows up very soon. Veg continues to come and go in her own funny way. Daphne visits each night and has a huge belly with her little wombat joey who is now sticking out her head so you can see her eyes and nose. Sometimes she is asleep when Daph arrives and all you see are little legs sticking out, just gorgeous and I'm certainly very fortunate to be able to watch this little one grow up. I've seen wombats in pouches before but never this close or every night where we are able to photograph and study.
