Many people assume possums just eat gum leaves and wallabies stick to grass - and while that's partly true, there's much more to their care. Like our cats and dogs, native wildlife need a varied, balanced diet, along with proper handling, enough space to move freely, plus mental and environmental enrichment to stay healthy. These books provide practical guidance for anyone caring for, or curious about, Australia's unique animals.
This 56-page illustrated guide provides essential information on the care of 18 commonly kept species of carnivorous marsupials. With practical tips on enclosure sizes, diet, nest box design, handling, transport, breeding, and social behaviour, it's an invaluable resource for anyone involved in the care of quolls, dunnarts, and other native carnivores.
