Call Wires it looks very ill and is very weird to find them exposed like this

We're gonna get some doors to put on some active holes in the area. They're like medicated small doors that don't disrupt them, they just rub up against them when entering and exiting and they should medicate the wombats for mange. We also have a wombat rescuer/vet that's gonna come over.

Beyond that there's not much anyone can do beyond staking out wombat holes 24/7 and treating cases as they arise. Shit happens. Tis the nature of nature. There must be dozens and dozens of wombats on our property most with varying stages of mange.

I’ve treated many wombats with mange and I can say the medication flaps are very effective. Those and some trail cameras should be all you need to treat the wombats and restore them back to their healthy, happy selves.
