Introducing Kangaroo Tails

I write this first post of a blog I have been afraid to start, with a pinkie joey tucked against my chest. A joey that has only been mine for only 6 days, but whom I have cried over - both in joy and fear. 

A baby that deserves better, deserves an expert, deserves her Mum. 

But she has me. A brand new wildlife carer of just a few months. I feel overwhelmed, I feel tired, I feel desperate. But mostly I feel love and I feel hope. Hope that she will get through this scary time for both of us. Hope that she will have a future long after her time with me.

I am not a writer or a photographer, I’m not even much of a wildlife rehabilitator yet. But I would like to share this experience and the journey of the wildlife that come into my care. 

I hope it can help people to love our native wildlife as much as I do. If one person checks a pouch on the highway because now they know a little joey be inside waiting for help, it will all be worth it.
