How To Adopt A Syrian Baby, we caught up with wallaby daddy craig whotold us how little scotty is getting on. normally he'd still be in his mum's pouchwhich is why he does well in this little pouch that i've got him in there and you'll seehe's trying to curl up and tuck his nose in. he think that when i bring him out it's timeto eat because that's really the only time

he's out and about at this stage, it's tooearly to be out of the pouch but when the mum's feeding, when she's eating, he'll puthis nose out and would then be having his nose in the dirt and in the grass and whatevermum's feeding on so he's used to having a bit of an explore so we try to- see him curlingup in there now? survival, from raising these guys from littleones about two out of three will survive. hygiene is really important and nutrition is reallyimportant and they get stressed, there's all sorts of things that they can succumb to butbecause where we live there's no foxes, there's no rabbits and we've got pretty reasonablehabitat for them, so based on previous experience, where friends have raised them, there's apretty strong chance of success. and they're
