Marty is a sweet little boy who has had an incredibly difficult start to life. After his mother died in public bushland, he was left to fend for himself. Marty’s poor body condition shows this struggle to survive had been for a number of weeks. Weighing just 5kg at admission we were shocked when his erupted teeth gave true insight into his actual age which is about 4 weeks. After being in care for less than a week and being provided excellent nutrition, we are already seeing promising weight gain. Marty is deaf and a little slower than other lambs, but he loves cuddles and company. We know with time his difficult start to life will be overshadowed by a bright, beautiful future.
