So what is Christmas in Australia like with two boisterous wombats in care?
Messy! Noisy! Fun!
The wombats find everything, are into everything and destroy everything! But I wouldn’t have it any other way! ❤️
They also go searching for their Christmas presents! Elsie keeps watch… but….Busted! Barney finds his christmas present.
Have you heard of Elf on a shelf? Elsie isn’t impressed with Elf on a wombat!
A little Christmas joy!
I wouldn’t normally dress up wildlife, but I have to admit they both looked completely adorable! During this stage of their development I can still be part of their play – their running, their biting and wrestling. But soon they will move outdoors permanently and no longer come inside at bedtime and for cuddles. Once that time comes, there will be no more handling them, no more cuddles and the bond will begin to separate as they move to become wild and independent! But for now I can just enjoy them.
🎄🎄 Elsie, Barney and I wish you a very merry Christmas! 🎄🎄. Stay safe, stay happy, watch out for wildlife and enjoy the festive season! All the best xx
