Feeding Guidelines
Use Kangaroo Milk Replacer <0.4 for very young "pinkies". Joeys at this age are very immature and may not be viable. They should only be cared for by very experienced carers with the correct equipment and resources.
Making Up Milk
To make 100 mL of milk: Mix 14 g of powder (2 scoops) with 95 mL of warm water.
To make 1 litre of milk: Mix 140 g of powder with 950 mL of warm water.
Add about half the water to the powder first and mix to a paste. Then make up with the remaining water and mix thoroughly. Use pre-boiled water to ensure it is sterilised. If the water is too hot, it can cause the milk to curdle. If it is too cold, it will be difficult to disperse the powder. An electric whisk can be used for mixing larger quantities.
Milk can be stored in the fridge for a day or 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, discard any unused milk and wash feeding utensils thoroughly.
