Caddy the pint-sized, eight-month-old wombat is lucky to be alive, having been orphaned in June after her mother was killed by a car.
Now the baby grey marsupial lives in a little “shack” at the Warrandyte Wildlife Shelter. Manager Linda Sauvarin said because Caddy was the only wombat there at the moment, some friends were brought in.

“Two soft toys, which have been companions to hundreds of orphaned wombats over the past 15 years, help keep her company,” Ms Sauvarin said “She’s a dear little thing. She came to us when she was only 900g, now she’s 2.2kg. She still has a long way to go. Caddy has to be fed every four hours with special milk. She will be released back into the wild when she hits 25kg.”
