00:00We take their shopping in wheelbarrows, I wouldn't say they're never aggressive but they're quite accustomed to people, which happens when you're getting well cared for, just living a good life.
00:26Yeah, definitely looks like it.
00:28Yeah, he's happy.
00:30He's only been with us three weeks.
00:32He ran out in front of his mum, ran out in front of somebody's car, and she died.
00:38But thankfully they stopped and they saw that she had an elongated teat.
00:44And when you squeeze that teat, milk comes out.
00:47And they went, she's got a baby.
00:49It wasn't in the pouch, they had to look for her.
00:53Wow.
00:54And then there he was sitting on the side of the road, petrified because he'd been thrown out at a vast speed.
01:01So he would have been very shocked.
01:03And then they phoned us.
01:05They were actually zookeepers at Shoal Haven Zoo.
01:08So at midnight I answered the phone and they brought him to me.
01:13And he's been doing very well.
01:17Now we got all the ticks off him.
01:19He was covered in ticks because it's tick season on the south coast.
01:23So he got a lot of care for that.
01:25That's one there still.
01:27And now, in time, he'll get another little buddy that he can be friends with.
01:32Wonderful.
01:33So he doesn't get too attached to us human beings.
