Second Chances Wildlife Sanctuary daily life: Abigail with Feather, Darlene and Tess

This video focusses on Abigail, who had a previously nasty thrush infection but is doing much better now. She's a little Red-Neck Wallaby joey, who was found in her mum's pouch after she was hit and killed by a car. Her favourite thing is to get out of her pouch and join either Rodney or Jimmy in either of their pouches, sitting on the top of them and evacuating on them if pee or poo just happens to happen. Feather makes an appearance (Catherine thought she was Abigail), and Darlene and Tess show how you can feed regardless of how many joeys are in their own personal pouch. Ruby, a swamp wallaby, is a particular culprit. Swampies have mischievous little personalities, are escape artists and love to bounce around like lunatics, climbing things and peeing all over them, hence the fence in the middle of the room to prevent them peeing on the lounge, desk, chair, computer and printer (actually the printer got peed on a few years back and hasn't worked since). Thanks Catherine for the footage. Tolga Bat Hospital takes donations for me for Catherine at Second Chances Wildlife Sanctuary. Tolga is an awesome place in Far North Queensland, which has charity status. By sending donations to them, they get a percentage (and deserve every cent) and they can allocate money to me for batty and roo expenses without it becoming part of my income stream (which makes tax time difficult). https://tolgabathospital.org/donate/ Mention Megabattie or Meg in the PayPal message box and the money will find its way to Catherine. If no message box appears, please email Jenny to tell her that the money is for Meg for Catherine. IMPORTANT: If you pay through the PayPal Giving Fund, can you please email Jenny with the AMOUNT DONATED and the name under which you have donated, OR just forward along the PP receipt. The Giving Fund doesn’t charge any fees (so the bats get more money) but PP doesn’t itemise out the amount, they just send a total every month, and we don’t know if the money is for Tolga or for Megabattie. Here’s Jenny’s email. [email protected]
