Wombaroo Kangaroo Milk Replacer >0.7

Wombaroo Kangaroo Milk Replacer >0.7 is a nutritionally balanced milk substitute for macropod (kangaroo & wallaby) joeys with greater than 70% of their pouch life completed.

Joeys at this stage have short to dense fur, and look like a miniature adult. Joeys may begin grazing from pouch and making use of some green feed. They soon emerge from the pouch and solid food plays an increasingly large part in the diet. Faeces soft to firm green pellets.

Key Features

• Specifically formulated to match the composition of late lactation kangaroo milk.
• High energy (fat content) milk, to cater for increased activity levels.
• Low in carbohydrate to aid in digestion and assist weaning onto solid foods.
• High levels of protein to coincide with the peak growth rate.

Feeding Guide

• Use Kangaroo Milk Replacer >0.7 when joeys are fully-furred, emerging from the pouch and beginning to wean onto solid food.
• Wombaroo Impact Colostrum Supplement may be fed to enhance the immune system.

Making up the milk replacer:

• To make 100mL of milk: Mix 25g of powder (3½ scoops) with 80ml of warm water.
• To make 1 litre of milk: Mix 250g of powder with 800ml of warm water.
• Add about half the water to the powder first and mix to a paste.
• Then make up with remaining water and mix thoroughly.
• Water is preboiled to ensure that it is sterilised.
• If the water is too hot it can cause the milk to curdle.
• If it is too cold then it will be difficult to disperse the powder.
• An electric whisk can be used for mixing larger quantities.
• Milk can be stored in the fridge for a day or can be frozen for up to 2 weeks.

Feeding guide for joeys:

• Warm milk to about 30°C and feed using a bottle and teat.
• A Wombaroo TM or FM Teat is recommended for out-of-pouch kangaroos and wallabies.
• Feed around 4 times per day for joeys with an Age Factor >0.7, reducing this to twice a day after full pouch emergence, when sufficient solid food is being consumed.
• If the joey is showing signs of dehydration (e.g. during hot weather), give extra drinks of water between feeds.
• Joeys dehydrate rapidly if not maintained under optimum husbandry conditions.
• Water should always be available ad lib once joeys begin to emerge from the pouch and become more active.
• Joeys should also have ad lib access to fresh grass and browse at this stage.
• Consult your veterinarian or experienced carer for further information about husbandry and feeding of joeys.
