Wear gloves for protection. A confident yet gentle approach is best. At least two people are needed for the capture of larger animals such as an adult wallaby. If you are inexperienced at handling wildlife or do not have any rescue gear please do not attempt to capture the animal, instead seek expert help. Most animals can be captured by throwing an old towel or blanket over them.
Nets can cause more injuries.
Wrap the animal securely or place it in a clean hessian sack or pillowslip and tie off the open end. Do not try and comfort it. Next place the animal and bag into the prepared box or pet pak. Reptiles and echidnas are best scooped into and transported in large plastic garbage bins. Keep the animal warm and quiet until you can get it home or get advice on its care.
