Wombat training Here's a video of keeper Tiff doing a training session with one of our wombats. Wombats are not necessarily the easiest animals to train as they are usually not as reward focused as other animals such as dogs. Then again, I've known some pet dogs who aren't this cooperative when it comes to trimming their toenails. As you can see, this wombat is not at all bothered by the process of having her nails trimmed. Great job Tiff with this training program! Training animals to participa

Hope the wombat has officially left the building and moved to her new home in the wild at Cedar Creek Wombat Rescue Inc and Wombat Hospital! It was a pleasure for us to hand raise Hope after she had a rough start to life and we're so excited to see her grow up at Cedar Creek! Hope brought a lot of joy to us during our closure and happiness all over the world to those who needed it most. We love her and can't wait to visit her in the wild! | Australian Reptile Park

Canberra-based wombat rescuer Yolandi Vermaark of Wombat Rescue is on the frontline of fighting mange in wombats.

It's a hard story to watch, but Yolandi believes all Australians need to open their eyes to the incredible suffering wombats with mange endure. | Australian Geographic
