Wombaroo Kangaroo Milk Replacer >0.7 - 250g

Kangaroo Milk Replacer >0.7
Milk Substitute for Late-Stage Macropod Joeys

Wombaroo Kangaroo Milk Replacer >0.7 is specifically designed for hand-rearing kangaroo and wallaby joeys that have completed more than 70% of their pouch life. These joeys are fully furred, resemble miniature adults, and begin grazing while still in the pouch. Faeces at this stage typically become firm green pellets, and joeys gradually transition to solid food.

Key Features

• Late Lactation Formula – Matches the composition of kangaroo milk during the final stage of pouch life.
• High Energy & Fat Content – Supports increased physical activity and development.
• Low Carbohydrate Levels – Aids digestion and facilitates weaning onto solid food.
• Protein-Rich – Provides essential building blocks during peak growth.

Ingredients

Whole milk solids (low lactose), whey protein, casein, vegetable oils, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, vitamins (A, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B9, B12, C, D3, E, K), biotin, choline, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, magnesium, zinc, iron, manganese, copper, iodine, selenium.

Feeding Directions

Use for joeys that are fully furred, beginning to graze, and gradually emerging from the pouch.

Milk Preparation:

• 100mL of milk: Mix 25g (3½ scoops) with 80mL of warm, pre-boiled water.

• 1L of milk: Mix 250g with 800mL of warm, pre-boiled water.

Mix half the water with powder to form a paste, then add the remaining water and mix thoroughly. Ensure milk is well blended to prevent separation, especially due to the high fat content. Store prepared milk in the fridge for up to 1 day, or freeze in small portions for up to 2 weeks.

Feeding Guide

Warm milk to ~30°C before feeding. Use a bottle and Wombaroo TM or FM Teat. Feed approximately 4 times daily, reducing to twice daily once joeys are fully out of the pouch and consuming sufficient solid food. Provide extra water in hot weather to prevent dehydration. Joeys at this stage should also have constant access to fresh grass, browse, and clean drinking water.

Growth Monitoring

Monitor weight regularly and adjust feed volumes based on Wombaroo species-specific growth charts. Avoid overfeeding to prevent diarrhoea.

Weaning

Joeys typically wean at 1.3 to 1.5 times their pouch life. For example, a Grey Kangaroo with a 320-day pouch life should be weaned by around 450 days. Transition to a diet of natural vegetation with optional supplementation using Wombaroo Kangaroo Pellets.

Supplementary Tip

For underweight or nutritionally compromised joeys, add The Good Oil for Animals at 5mL per 100mL of milk to boost energy intake. Introduce gradually and do not exceed recommended amounts to avoid nutrient imbalances.
