Pouches & Pouch Liners
Standard Pouches
Kangaroo Hanging Pouches
Fabric must be 100% natural fibres – no polyester, wool, synthetics or fabrics that have plastic or glitter. Breathability and softness are the priority. Flannelette and 100% cotton is recommended. Flannel is recommended for young animals as they are much cosier.
Outer pouches need to be made from fabric that is strong and durable to support the hanging joey. Fleece is recommended.
Straps needs to be made with strong fabric that can support the weight of the joey.
ARCCG has instructions on how to make hanging pouches here and has a free downloadable pattern in two different sizes, one for Kangaroos and one for Wallabies.
Quilted Nests & Possum Palaces
Wildlife shelters often use hand knit and crochet or Quilted Nest’s and Possum Palaces to cradle orphaned and injured birds and possums while they are recovering. We appreciate these in various sizes.
