Wombaroo Wombat > 0.6 Milk Replacer

Wombaroo Wombat Milk Replacer >0.6 – Late Lactation Formula

Specialised milk formula for wombat joeys beyond 60% of pouch life.
As joeys begin to fur, explore outside the pouch, and transition to solid foods, Wombaroo >0.6 Milk Replacer supports their changing nutritional needs with a formula that closely replicates the composition of natural wombat milk during late lactation.

Why Choose Wombaroo >0.6 Milk Replacer?

• Ideal for older joeys: Designed for wombat joeys that have completed more than 60% of pouch life and are entering the weaning stage.

• Formulated for late lactation: High in protein and energy, low in carbohydrates to support growth, activity, and dietary transition.

• Supports healthy development: Aids in deterring dehydration, preventing breakage in fur, and building gut flora as solid foods are introduced.

• No build-up: Leaves no residue in fur or digestive system.

How to Use

Mixing Instructions:

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

• To make 1 Litre: Mix 250 g of powder with 800 mL of warm, pre-boiled water.

Preparation Tips:

1. Add half the water to the powder first and mix to a smooth paste.

2. Add the remaining water and stir thoroughly.

3. Avoid using water that is too hot (may cause curdling) or too cold (difficult to dissolve).

4. Use an electric whisk for large batches.

Storage:

• Prepared milk can be refrigerated for 24 hours or frozen for up to 2 weeks.

• Store in small portions (e.g., ice cube trays) for convenience.

• Discard any thawed milk that isn’t used and thoroughly clean feeding equipment.

Feeding Guidelines

• Warm milk to approximately 30°C.

• Feed using a bottle and appropriate teat (e.g., LD or FM Teat).

• Start with 4 feeds per day and gradually reduce to 2 feeds daily as the joey progresses.

• The high energy formula allows for reduced feeding volume and frequency—helping avoid carer imprinting.

• Provide fresh water at all times, especially as the joey becomes more active.

Tip: Joeys at this stage benefit from access to fresh dirt and native browse, which supports gut flora development and weaning onto a natural diet.
