This one was a wild Bluey that Fauna Rescue called me about in November 2020. A lady found it being harassed by a cat outside, and it had a few marks on its head and body.

Thankfully nothing too major, wounds were cleaned and he was vet checked, kept at home with me for a few days (see photo one), and rereleased close to his original found site (second photo).

He was very well behaved and rather placid, and a lot bigger than the photos let on!
