Breakfast in Bed at 2.20pm today he was up alot last night (so were we ) , hes so much fatter and super long wombat. We have had to restart antibiotics as hes not totally infection free yet. he’s busting to get out, but complains and get’s upset if the night is cold. We monitor his mood and he’s still on pain medication. When he’s upset due to the antibiotics, or run out of fresh grass etc we sit and sing to him the songs we sang softly gently when he was little. He can calm down quite quickly. Warwick and Jack spent 7 days making his new Starter burrow in the wombatorium out front, its for when his wound is totally healed and temperatures warmer than the 5 degrees C were getting now, we have sewn more grass (conservation mix). We will show our ‘hospital style’ starter burrow next. We still feel he’s reasonably wild we do not pat, cuddle or play with him, he’s a solitary wombat boy. he likes the singing it calms him , we tried a tape of it but he know’s and if we sneak out back to bed he can wake up and get upset which involves thumping on his box, built for 5kg joeys now reinforced in evey direction, helps when warwick sits on to sing it as he is very very strong.
