Thanks for watching it mate! Probobly not our most exciting video but certianly something I think is important!
What a great man
thanks Nick , to the point with safety tips and followup. Scott Qld
Nick! I have to say. This is a wonderful video you’ve put together. You’re a very kind young man indeed. I know what to do now thank you. I’ll put an old pillow slip under my vehicles seat too just incase. Cheers mate 👍
Thanks mate!
I normally have a little kit being a pillow case, small blanket, pair of gloves and scissors which I keep in a tiny pet crate, but silly me had it in the other car! 😂
omg its so cute, shame about mum tho, hope nick grows up well
Hope so! Fortunately his taken to care well, so maybe we will keep checking in and film his eventual release into the wild
Great stuff mate!!
Great video Nick 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Thanks Mate!
Thanks Nick . Love our Wildlife, so special & Unique 🥰
Thank you for this extremely informative and educational
Thankyou very much for taking the time to watch mate!
@@WickedWildlife love your content
Brilliant video, mate.
Thanks!
Very detailed step by step with no confusion 🙂🙏
There's plenty of wildlife in Australia but it's all dead
This is so needed to be known. Some rescue organizations consider pouch testing to a level 2 workshop.......???? Thank you. j
Yep mate totally agree. I rescued two baby wombats in. The same situation and got them as quick as I could to a carer.
Thank you so much for this important information, Nick. I’m going to add a Joey kit to my car just in case I come across one. Also thank you so so much for helping the little wallaby and moving his mum away from the road so scavengers can do their work safely.
Thanks for watching! I should do a video on the kind of kit I normally carry
I agree "this is something every Australian should know", but we're not taught it in schools 😦 we have a lot of room for improvement. Thankyou for a VERY important video 👍
ps. I understand not giving them food, but why not giving them water?
Thanks for watching! It’s certainly something everyone should have at least a basic understanding of I think!
@@WickedWildlife but can u please explain why not giving them water? thats confusing to me and i would assume most viewers!
@@DaveWhoa we don’t offer them water unless requested for a few reasons, firstly it’s easy for joeys to get water on their lungs when not used to drinking from a bowl or syringe, but secondly it also means it’s one less thing a carer has to consider with any medications they may administer on arrival
In remote areas a carer may advice over the phone to offer water to lap, but generally that decision is best left to carers
@@WickedWildlife thankyou for clarification mate, appreciated 😄 👍🦘
Great video.
Thanks!
Great job Nick! And great info!!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow thank you so much for this info. I have wallabies coming to my garden staying for a while so this is very helpfull tips. 🤩😍🦘🐨
Thanks for watching!
Great video. Hopefully we'll see your channel grow and get wider exposure.
Thanks mate! I’m not sure we have the style to ever be a massive channel, I might be too down to earth 😂 but we are growing steadily!
@@WickedWildlife Don't underestimate yourself, I think your style is exactly what people want - no nonsense! And your love of the animals shines through.
Imagine how many joeys would be saved if it was mandatory for every Aussie to watch an 8min video
Thank you. I'm watching from overseas. It is heartbreaking to see how many kangaroos, wallabies are killed on the roads through Australia. Why don't people drive slow and stop and call rescuers if they hit an animals? Kangaroos, koalas wombats are a massacre 💔💔💔😭😭😭🦘🦘🦘🦘
I remember saving a Joey as a kid, use to play with him for the day we had him we were like best mates at that time lol, ended up taking him to the zoo & they took him & I got to name him, his name was CJ after me as my nickname, think he is still at the zoo to, can’t remember the name of the zoo but man I’d love to go see if his there one day, was over 13 years ago now as I’m now 20 & would’ve been about 6 or 7 some shit like that.
Well done on a fantastic video Nick. A good educational tool for anyone who loves our unique wildlife and is able to help.
What a legend! And it's great the carer let you follow up on little Nick.
We had a dropped possum joey by the kids' Scout hall just before Christmas, he'd been abandoned at the base of a tree and it was drizzly. We got him dry and warm and to a vet, but unfortunately he had hypothermia and when I checked in the next morning they said he wasn't able to be saved. I'm in the process of making up some pouches to keep in the hall with the Wildlife Victoria number in case it happens again.
And it should be said, I don't regret saving him. It is never a waste of time to rescue a native and find out they didn't make it. He was dry, warm, medicated and treated with care when he passed. If he'd been outside another 10 minutes he would have drowned in a puddle.
@@schaynegeorge4793 Legend, I wish there were more people like you.
Thanks for doing everything you could!
Thanks Nick for not only saying him but for your advice.
Thanks for watching!
Great vid mate!
Thanks mate!
Hi Nick,
when we lived in Australia I would stop to move carcasses off the road to protect the carrion eaters. On a trip from Melbourne to Northern Queensland I had (literally) chalked up a score of about thirty (on the dashboard). Just across the NSW border with Queensland I found one with a joey inside, a bit bigger than the one you had. We put it in a bag and headed back to the town we had just passed through and the local publican took it is she had raised many over the years. It was hard to part with as it was very cute, but it was in good hands.
It is a pity more folk don't remove carcasses, it is so disappointing to see a dead kangaroo with the corpses of a wedgetailed eagle or two scattered nearby.
Some are a bit smelly (males), so having some scented wipes in the car is handy, if not essential, unless you want to be really unpopular.
Swampy?
My man im in kansas and my aunt just got a baby wallaby i think you would be fine haveing them in your back hard in a natural habitat
It’s against the law to keep wild born wildlife here in Australia, people can keep native animals as pets with a permit but they must be bred in captivity
Also raising them from unfurred is totally different to raising say a Joey that’s almost ready to emerge from the pouch
If a pillowcase is unavailable could a t-shirt tied at three points do?
And if the Joey needs to be transported by car is it better to have the air conditioning on or off?
Awesome video, very important. Much appreciated.
Thanks for watching! 😊
Now I want a baby wallaby. That thing was so cute.
lol they are cute, but no u cant have them as pets without a license which Nick has. They're not really suitable as pets tho
@@DaveWhoa Was just having a laugh mate. All cute babies eventually grow up.
Everything’s cute at this age! But yes he certianly is adorable!
