UPDATE: Penny the baby echidna, or ‘puggle’ was saved by Wee Waa’s Elisha Proctor in November. Elisha, brought Penny in to The Courier last week to show her progress. “Penny is nearly 12 months of age now and has been a total joy to Robert and I as we have weaned her from the puggle stage through to a near mature echidna” reports Elisha.“Because of the drought there are no ants, so she has been having her lactose free milk with a whole Weetbix – she loves it, and will not drink milk without the Weetbix.”
