SA list

I couldn't be bothered cutting and pasting it like the last time, so here is the link:

As you can see there are more wallabies to choose from and they also have things like Squirrel Gliders and Long-nosed Potoroo's, amongst others. I notice the Brushy and Wombat are missing though, and maybe others. But this is just their basic list!!
 
Are there any breeders of native mammals in vic? Like possums, wombats and roos?
 
We have kept Ring tailed possums, brush tailed possums and wombats only as rescued animals and all have been released, now days we only really get sent birds and the occasional echidna as we arent on the front line of carers for wildlife vic, we now assist a carer when she has her hands full. i love the brushies but extremely territorial so i like the ringies better as they are communal and will cuddle up together at night to keep warm and also dont do as much damage to you when they go feral...
