Our wildlife populations are decreasing at rapid rates thanks to climate change, urban sprawl and the consequent loss of habitat, cars, dogs, cats, foxes, poisoning and many other human related issues. The educated assistance of wildlife carers and vet staff is key to their welfare.

Please bring pen and paper to take your own notes. The manual Husbandry and Diseases of Injured Reptiles and Frogs will likely be available for sale on the day or via the FaunaOz Education website.
Objective: The attendee should have an improved understanding about the handling and examination, housing of injured reptiles. Greater detail on how to feed reptiles from arrival to release will be covered.
Various conditions that reptiles suffer – from husbandry-related, nutritional, infectious and traumatic presentations are addressed. Preparation for release will be discussed at greater length.
The program is flexibly delivered – often a topic has a greater interest to an audience and thus a longer time may be spent. An effort is made to ensure that breaks are taken on time but may be reduced by 10 – 15 minutes if there are particular topics of interest to cover.
