locodave Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Hi guys, Saw this fellow down at Newnes. Saw two wombats like this. Anyone know why they look like that? At first I thought maybe they got caught in a fire, but looks more like a disease. Not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishywang34 Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 It looks like a case of dermatitis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jocler Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 There is a real problem of mange in wild wombats. There are places on the web you can report the wombat and they will go out, catch it and treat it. The problem is not many people report them so it continues to spread through the wild population.
