This little Red Neck wallaby came in late at night, after her mum was hit on the road and killed by a car. The two young men involved brought the body of the mother with them for identification, which made it very easy. It can sometimes be a little bit hard to figure out at first exactly what specie it is when they are this small.

She only weighed 135gram, her eyes were closed and her ear canals not yet open, too small to endure the separation from her mother. She died shortly after being brought in. One may wonders it worth bringing one so little in to care", the answer as far as I am concerned must in all cases be YES!!.

The reason being that firstly it is not left to try and fend of the ants that are very fast to move into the pouch, one can only imagine what they must go through whilst slowly being eaten alive.

Second reason is they can be fed and kept warm, this must be preferable to the alternative. Also it can be very hard for someone not familiar with this specie of animal to ascertain what is able to survive and what is not.

Some are very small and do make it through, stages of development happen fast, and depending on species some are more developed and able to survive, even though at first sight you would think the opposite.
