Wombaroo Wombat Milk Replacer 0.4 190g

Wombat Milk Replacer 0.4 is a nutritionally balanced milk substitute for wombat joeys with between 40% - 60% of their pouch life completed.

Joeys at this stage have darkening skin to fine fur, eyes nearly opened to just opened, ears erect. Completely confined to the pouch, but may poke head out occasionally. Faeces toothpaste consistency.

Key Features

• Specifically formulated to match the composition of mid lactation wombat milk.
• Moderate energy milk, with a balance of carbohydrate & fat content.
• Protein high in sulphur-containing amino acids (cysteine & methionine) for the onset of hair growth.

Wombat milk composition changes significantly as the joey ages. Wombat Milk Replacer 0.4 is specially formulated for mid lactation, just before the onset of rapid hair growth. Joeys at this age are prone to disease and mortality and should only be attempted by experienced carers.

Joeys can be aged according to their physical characteristics (hair growth, body length measurements etc.). Body weight is not a good indicator of age because this can vary greatly with body condition and level of dehydration.
