Sir Walter This little boy is our only bare nose wombat in our care. He is different in many ways from our Southern Hairy nose wombats He has : much smaller ears Less whiskers Doesn’t dig as much Totally smaller nose Fur isn’t soft And is very very needy wanting human intervention all the time.

Walter wombat is a bare nose and came to us with several anxiety issues… we have worked hard to try and sort this little boy out and give him the confidence he needs We have had Walter in our care for 3 weeks now and he is getting better day by day He loves long walks, cuddles and a bottle but almost becomes frantic when left alone which could be because of his past Not exactly that keen to see wombats in a harness but we do it as it means he gets a longer walk and is totally safe at all times ❤
