Koala Kindy - meet Khanum by koalagardens

Koala Kindy - meet Khanum

The secret is out - glad you are all so excited as it is huge. https://youtu.be/k-p_w9mVV3A shows the story and explains a bit of what a stage two kindy is all about.
Khanum was orphaned at only 7 months old and had some terrible pneumonia episodes but is certainly looking hardy now.
How cute...sweet thing! Fav. Loved the video and they are both so cute and small. I couldn't get any sound but still fun to watch.

How wonderful - just watched the video ! May they both flourish under your care !

@gardenfolk no sound on the video, so all was good :) they are quite small, and sooooo cute
@beryl thank you, it's so lovely to have such hope here

Oh how exciting, two new ladies on the block. How long will they be in the kindy enclosure? Is this the last stage before they have access to the rest of your property?
July 9th, 2020  
She’s beautiful! Welcome, Khanum and welcome, Dita!

I’m a bit lost. Is the enclosure open over the top? Are all the trees short enough that the ladies won’t be able to get to a tree outside the enclosure? Or, that other koalas could find their way in. (Corollary question: how do koalas handle fences?) do these two ladies have ear tags? I’m terrible with nose patterns, so a red tag narrows down for me which koala I’m looking at. Except for Bullet who is without his “earring”!

Will they remain with you until they don’t need kindy support any more? How exciting to meet the young koalas! Congratulations! Sorry for the lengthy message!

I agree with Beryl- may they both flourish under your skillful care! I needed some good news today and this is perfect!
July 9th, 2020  
@kchuk yes it is open at the top and there is enough distance between the trees inside and the fence that they cannot get out by climbing to the fence.
the top of the fence you may have noticed has flat metal all around it which prevents the koala from climbing to the top and therefore over - it is on both sides, preventing koalas (like Bullet) climbing in as well.
The girls do have tags, but since both tags are in their right ears (because girls are always right 😂 ). It may help if you notice that Khamun is a much darker colour than Dita.
Yes they will remain here for about a month or a little longer and then they will be ready to be wild and free!!!!!
I always love questions 😀
July 9th, 2020  
@onewing Yes this is the last stage to make sure they are ready to be set free so it's very exciting to see them get this far!
July 9th, 2020

I also watched the video. This is great, what you are doing there ! And it also gives a personal touch to this supercute Koala pictures.

Congratulations on starting the stage 2 enclosure. Now that it is there I hope you will be able to use it for other rehabilitating Koalas if they are in need.
July 9th, 2020  
How wonderful! Congratulations, and may many koalas pass through your program that otherwise might not be so lucky! :)
