A newborn “pinkie” wombat is cute, but when they don’t have a mother’s pouch to snuggle in life can be difficult.
In their furless state, their skin is incredibly delicate, and, if they are being hand reared, they require massage with a lubricant several times a day to keep their skin from drying out.
For this adorable young one, in a video taken on June 28 at the Sleepy Wombat Sanctuary, in Gundaroo, New South Wales, hemp oil is the carer’s choice. Credit: Sleepy Burrows Wombat Sanctuary via Storyful
