"Next" will be in about 9 months

They are not weaned until about 12 months old, and she is about 3 months old!

They start out the size of a jellybean, weighing 2 grams!!

So they have a very slow growth!

But, as we did with my previous joey, we take her to a rescue rehabilitation house, where they teach the joeys to be in the wild, its a very long process, they stay for a long time, coming back to their pouches haha but eventually they go out with the other kangaroos/wallabies!

However! My brother likes her, which is strange, because he doesnt like animals, but he wants to keep her here, but dont think that will happen because of our dogs!


Great news! She was 282 grams when i got her last week, and today she weighed 325 grams!!

Jamie you will have to come visit her..



Last night we called the wildlife lady!
She said i was doing an AMAZING job with her, getting her to gain 40 grams in a week was soo great, and i am doing everything right for her, but bad things can still happen!

She has dry skin, because shes not getting oil from her mums pouch, so the lady said we had to give her a bath, then get this special cream for her..

So gave her a bath, she was not happy, was sulking and put her head under my hand!

and then last night, she didnt want to really wake up, only a little bit.. and this is what had happened with Faia the night she had died!
But she still drank all her bottle!

and mum said she is a baby, and might just be tired... i was crying again

2:30am, i was woken up by little Fifer climbing all over me, wide eyed, wanting her milk

and this morning she is doing her baby hissing noise for me and trying to crawl on me! Now shes making her sucking noise with her mouth waiting for her bottle
All active again! Phew!!!
