Wombaroo Kangaroo +0.7

Wombaroo Kangaroo +0.7Kangaroos are Macropods, a family which includes the wallabies, wallaroos, pademelons, potoroos & bettongs. Macropods are herbivores, and depending on species may have a wide diet including native grasses, vegetation, leaves, mosses and fungi. Being marsupials, they are born extremely undeveloped and kept in the mothers pouch for a prolonged period during early development. The young exit the pouch once fully furred and continue to consume mothers

Kangaroos are Macropods, a family which includes the wallabies, wallaroos, pademelons, potoroos & bettongs. Macropods are herbivores, and depending on species may have a wide diet including native grasses, vegetation, leaves, mosses and fungi. Being marsupials, they are born extremely undeveloped and kept in the mother’s pouch for a prolonged period during early development. The young exit the pouch once fully-furred and continue to consume mother’s milk until weaning on to solid foods.

The milk of kangaroos changes significantly in composition over the course of lactation. 

Making up Milk

To make 100mL of milk: Mix 25g of powder (3½ scoops) with 80ml of warm water.

To make 1 litre of milk: Mix 250g of powder with 800ml of warm water.

Add about half the water to the powder first and mix to a paste. Then make up with remaining water and mix thoroughly. Water is preboiled to ensure that it is sterilised. If the water is too hot it can cause the milk to curdle. If it is too cold then it will be difficult to disperse the powder. Wombaroo contains elevated fat levels, so the milk needs to be well mixed to prevent it from separating out. An electric whisk can be used for mixing larger quantities. Milk can be stored in the fridge for a day or can be frozen for up to 2 weeks. It may be useful to store frozen milk in small portions (e.g. ice cube trays), so that the required daily feed volumes can be easily thawed out. Once thawed out, discard any unused milk, and wash feeding utensils thoroughly.
