Species: Wombat

Benny
Reason taken into care:
Benny wombat came in at 171 grams from Martinsville, in the Hunter Valley.
He had been in his dead mum's pouch for three days before being found. Benny has proved to be a real little fighter, as he was very dehydrated and freezing cold. With the help of the NATF Wildlife Rescue he is stable and putting on weight rapidly as womats should.
Benny will be in care for at least 12 months before he moves on to his pre-release site where he will stay for several months until he is around 18kgs before being released back into the wild.
